Federation Civil War

[XFozzboute]

It's mainly because I've been out of the workforce since my dad died in 2013. I haven't filled out an application since I 1987 when I got my first and only job. I feel out of touch. I feel much weaker and unable to do much since I had cancer in 2015. Chemo has caused memory problems. Bad knees and back don't help either. I'm just confused. Also while taking care of my father I became an insomniac because he would have me up at any time of night to go to hospital for something that usually turned out to be nothing.

I would hate to have to try to make a living as an artist. Art is something I enjoy and wouldn't want to turn it into work.

However, you are an exceptional 3D artist, even if you are not looking for a job in that field.

Whatever you do, I wish you nothing but good luck.

I have too much fun doing art so I don't want to make a job of it. Thanks guys. At least today my knees feel pretty good. must be the vitamin d i've started taking. The CBD oil isn't to bad either.

UPDATE...
I think I done as much as I can this part of the shit. My brain is pretty much turned to mush.

UPDATE...
Got frustrated working on the last ship so I thought I’d move to another one. I’ve done two pics showing the full ship just to get a good look at it. Most of the work on the top of the hull is done.

Added some panels and a few more windows.

I like this design (well that's not saying much as I like all your work). I think this one is sweet as it evokes the old round saucer with nacelles, but on the newer "spoon"-shaped saucers of later tng trek. At the same time, the ship also has that cool civil war era ironclad look (sexy):

Now this is just amazing, @XFozzboute! Looks like a little sister ship to the Voyager. Always had a soft spot for smaller ships. This is what, nine or ten decks thick? I really dig the asymmetric surface details on top of the hull, the nacelle design and the shuttlebay area. Thanks for sharing your art with us!

Yeah bro. I have always felt that XFozzboute's use of the finer details in his work have almost a 1970's-80's vibe of physical model making. The perfect blend of smooth and detailed sections.

 

[XFozzboute]

Thanks Michael and Atolm.
I grew up building models in the 70's-80's so I still approach my work the same way.

UPDATE...
I added detail to the fantail. I’m happy with it but I think I might rebuild the section because I’m not happy with the segmenting and a few other issues I’m coming up against. Feel like I might need a small break.

 

[XFozzboute]

UPDATE...
Did a little work on rebuilding this part. There is still some segmenting but I’m gonna have to live it. Too many other thing on my mind.

 

[XFozzboute]

UPDATE...
Damn tore up my left knee again while I was asleep again. Well I pretty much finished up the fantail. I also redesigned the tractor beam emitter. I added two new transporter emitters and added some grid lines to the bottom of the primary hull. I’m gonna need to adjust those. They’re a little deeper and thicker than I want them.

 

[Bernard Guignard]

damn that looks good

 

[publiusr]

it does. Stay in good health us.

 

[XFozzboute]

UPDATE...
Well looks like with a little help from the Autodesk forums I was able to fix the problem I was having so back to work I go.
Added some detail and a few more windows.

Man, you don't get nearly enough credit for the awesome work you do!! I love the designs and detail you put into these models!!

That's what I've been say'n!!!

 

[XFozzboute]

UPDATE...
The yo yoing weather out here is driving me nuts. I feel like hell but I was able to add some detail and windows to the lower hull.

 

[XFozzboute]

UPDATE...
Did all this little bit of work last night while working through a mild migraine. Not easy when it effects your vision sometimes. Sure it’s not a very federationy look but don’t care, I’m happy with it. I’ll add a bit more fine detail when I get a chance.
