I’ve been working on modelling the third ship for the game. =) Things have been a bit slow art-wise lately, because I had some issues with my blender 2.8 config files, so I reverted back to 2.79 (luckily since blender saves config files by version this was super easy) and I just haven’t felt like bothering to get back into 3D for a bit. That aside, some of you might recognize the ship from the ‘Vulture’ concept sketch I did a while back, and I’m really liking where the design has gone. There are a few cleanup things I need to do still, and I want to add more little details (like cabling, wiring etc.) but, I think it’s pretty much done otherwise. It should fit well with the other raven ship (the Vanguard), which was the first ship I made for the game, and the ship that set the style for raven ships, and ships in the game in general.

I was doing a bit of alien concept sculpting yesterday, trying to come up with an alien that would look good on the front cover of Iongazer Feels like a good fit for the game, and the hoop-y design is already part of the sketched alien ships. =)

Another ship concept! I'm thinking there might be a ship manufacturer that blends human technology with alien, which might account for some of the alien features, like the hoops.

This ship seems like a good fit as the baseline ship in IONGAZER Not great at anything in particular but a somewhat solid civilian ship. =)

I put together a rough UI for editing ship hull paint patterns. There's still more tweaking to go, but it was a nice little project to keep my mind busy before moving day. =)

Another ship concept, this one is pretty likely to get in the game. It's a very small ship, focused on fast movement and tight maneuverability.

The final model came out pretty well. I might add some more surface details or paint decals later, but I wanted this one to feel sleek and clean compared to the first ship which was more of a rugged military ship.
