Spaceship Concept Art
This mechanical space whale was the main exercise from my Prop Design month (May 2020). I was very excited about tackling both mechanical objects and sci-fi, two things I really like but don’t usually draw. I’m very happy with the concept and the whole process (which you can see here on its entirety) was very fun and rewarding. (There’s a lot to improve, but for being the first spaceship I ever make I think it deserves a pass!)
Final rendered illustration concept of the spaceship.
Colour/detail variations.
Value studies, I chose the bottom left one for the final model.
Lineart of profile, front and upper view + design “backstory” details.
First design iterations, 10 is the final model.
“Flow” studies (the ones with the red arrows were the ones I ended up going with).
Reference sheet and first shapes brainstorm (the ones circled red were the chosen ones to inspire the final model).
