Felt like sketching an outfit for Queen Savira, but didn’t want her wing in the way of the outfit, so I didn’t draw the left wing. I’m picturing this outfit in shades of orange and yellow like a sunset, contrasting her sapphire blue scales, do you see the vision?

The first concept sketches for a few Claesian ships. These aren’t very detailed because I’m just trying to get a feel for the vibes I’m going for with these, and I also don’t draw inanimate objects ever, so I’m super rusty. I still have to do a concept for a medical ship, but I ran out of space on the page. Also, none of these designs are 100% final, they’re just concepts.

From top left to bottom right:

-Starfighter: capable of flying forward or backward. Nebula and Kitsune both have one of these since they’re physically unable to pilot a standard Jedi Starfighter. Kit doesn’t use hers much, though

-Scout Ship: meant to be maneuverable and fast, able to vanish quickly if needed. Probably the smallest Claesian ship in actual size, likely too compact for the average humanoid to stand upright in

-Stealth Ship: virtually silent, fast ship with excellent cloaking devices. Can be used for espionage or stealth bombing, not recommended for dogfights, but decently maneuverable just in case

-Diplomatic Cruise Ship: large ship with many rooms for passengers, and a big ballroom and dining room area, as well as a few meeting chambers. Hasn’t actually left Claesian space in a few centuries, and doesn’t leave again until after the Clone Wars due to being such a big target with relatively few defenses

-Escort Ship: larger than the starfighters, but almost as fast. Cannot go in reverse like the starfighters. Frequently used to transport Claesian diplomats during the war since these ships are harder to catch and have more defenses

trying to design Claesian spacecraft is so hard. I want all the ships to look sleek and streamlined, but also have actual variation in their designs for different purposes. So far, I have a starfighter loosely based off a boomerang and bird combo that can fly forward or backward, a stealth ship based on a bird/real life stealth bomber, a scout ship based on a dragonfly, and a diplomatic ship that kinda looks like a whale and/or the big red ship from Lilo and Stitch. The resemblance to another fictional ship was entirely unintentional, and I personally don’t think this ship looks “fancy” enough, but this is also just a teeny concept sketch, and the actual thing is supposed to be BIG like a cruise ship, so…

Some Scalesian doodles from Thanksgiving because it was a super chill day and I got to draw for most of it. From top left to bottom right: Kitsune, an unnamed old soldier dude, Nebula, and Queen Savira who I haven’t drawn in literally forever.
