Title: Off the Side Space ships
Post by: Iwan on Wed 05/05/2004 22:36:39
Hi,

Here are some sketches i did for my game Off the Side and i wanted to know what the C&C team thought of them...


Aliens:

Ships:

Space ship 01 (http://www.2dadventure.com/ags/space_ship_-_resized.JPG)

I was trying to give this one some charactor as it's the main one.

sorry about the quality but my scanner wasn't working so I used a camera.

Thanks,

-Iwan

Wow, those sketches really have some character, the only thing that bugged me is that space ship doesn't look like a sapace-ship, I didn't even know what it was before I read the title above it.... ;D

Does the ship look better from this (http://www.2dadventure.com/ags/off_the_side_concept_art_02.GIF) angle?

Ive started to draw it out on the computor now. It's only drawn out with a black out lines with basic colours at the moment.

Are the colours I've chosen allright?

Looks good to me, but maybe you should make the cockpit window thing a tad darker.  Its entirely up to you, but if it was me, I would darken it a little.   Are you going to need that window transparent?

I forgot about the cockpit. I've eddited the my preveouse post now. Is this colour ok...too dark?

I started colouring the front area a bit too.

id lose the black outline at the back, it looks odd when the rest of the ship isnt outlined

I second DanClarke's comment.

Also, I love what you did with those red wings. I would apply a similar texture to the metallic (blue-ish) parts of the ship. I think it would give the hull a more metallic look and it looks neat!

shouldn't it have some kind of rocket engine flame coming out the back?

other than that, i love it

When the rocket starts a rocket pops out of the back.

Thanks for all the help,

hmm... looks very...in lack of a better word..."plain". how about some sort of insignia or something on the nose, and/or a colored ribbon along the bottom edge of the cockpit glass. and maybe even a couple of indentations on the rear end of the hull. just some small details to spice it up. the hard part is over, and you've done a good job!

the shadowing on the top 'fin' needs to be reversed, the shadow should be on the inside.
Title: Re: Off the Side sketches
Post by: Iwan on Thu 13/05/2004 19:11:26
Ok. I've modifyes it with some dents, a code on the rear of the ship and changed the shadowing on the rear fin. Also i've added a gradient to make it look less flat.

Is that back wing supposed to be on the same spot as the one we see in front ? If so, it's position is off...you should bring it down and more to the left....it's position looks realy weird now...
I'd make the cockpit less dark and add more highlight...
Also...It would look better if you'd carve this "A429" number into the ship...by using highlights and shadows...if you know what I mean....instead of just writing it down.....
Apart form that I dig this ship....

Cheers!

thanks KaaZ. The 'back wing' is on top of the ship and the cock pit is now going to be transparent and i'm going to draw a man inside. I'll ingrave the 'A429' in.

Here is a knew space ship i made in 3D because i might have some 3D animation (like sam and max with the helicopter and the lift if you know what i mean). It's my first go at making a 3D model and I made it with anim8or (http://www.anim8or.com). Is it ok? I haven't coloured it in yet and I was wandering if anyone had some idease for colours?

the current model for the spaceship looks really good, but i think you need to work on your texturing...like with the glass, and id think a spaceship would have some detail like seems and rivets and stuff

I'm looking for criticism on the texture of the dome. Any better? I'm working on putting rivets onÃ,  the body at the moment but it's taking some time.
