Just some Lyran designs I've worked up last night (these are all dorsal views and the bow of the ship designs are on the top) Jaguar-class battlecruiser: Lion-class command cruiser: Tiger-class dreadnought: Panther-class cruiser: Clouded Leopard-class cruiser: Leopard-class light cruiser: Cougar-class destroyer: Caracal-class corvette: Serval-class frigate: Liger-class battleship: Lynx-class carrier: Puma-class monitor: Cheetah-class police ship: Ocelot-class assault ship & 2 Oncilla-class siege pods: Jaguarundi-class scout ship: Direct links: https://i.postimg.cc/T3wKcTks/Lyran-Jaguar-Class-Battlecruiser-00.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/0jnNp47x/Lyran-Lion-Class-Command-Cruiser-00.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/Y0s5KfHY/Lyran-Tiger-Class-Dreadnought-00.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/sxd41QDh/Lyran-Panther-Class-Cruiser-00.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/3Jgn9Yb3/Lyran-Clouded-Leopard-Class-Cruiser-00.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/C1jfPvSR/Lyran-Leopard-Class-Light-Cruiser-00.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/4N3mV477/Lyran-Cougar-Class-Destroyer-00.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/zvk83Q1Y/Lyran-Caracal-Class-Corvette-00.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/VNNY0QqF/Lyran-Serval-Class-Frigate-00.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/R0tgRqLC/Lyran-Liger-Class-Battleship-00.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/g0jkxX8J/Lyran-Lynx-Class-Carrier-00.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/bN4gvMMS/Lyran-Puma-Class-Monitor-00.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/sgJH6zwd/Lyran-Cheetah-Class-Police-Ship-00.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/PrvpbGmt/Lyran-Bobcat-Class-Assault-Ship-Oncilla-Class-Siege-Pods-00.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/43rs42xB/Lyran-Jaguarundi-Class-Scout-Ship-00.jpg
Very pretty and vaguely floral and organic. The symmetry is very satisfying. They are interesting even if just as graphical elements. Would be interesting to see how you imagine other perspectives.
Atolm, I love these! But they're not like the original straight-line CATamarans, so I have to hate them. But the originals are bland and boring, and these look so alien! Have you done any Kzinti yet?
LOL...thanks. I did keep both the trimaran and catamaran concepts, but I tried to make it more exotic... Or as you stated alien I also opted a single hull design philosophy on their smallest of vessels, but kept it uniform by implementing the hour-glass overall hull shapes of the fleet. As for the Mirak... I've been thinking on it (I do have a couple of older designs...but I might have to do some updating). I am thinking that they would be another offshoot of the Kzin(ti).
As always, I look forward to all the work you produce. Your designs are always fascinating and so clean. And inspirational, too! In thinking about my own approach to doing hypothetical Lyran ships, I came up with a new way to model some of these shapes in Blender. I might have to dust off my old SFB miniatures and start a thread of PsionVerse SFB warships!
Here is my attempt to reconcile the enigma of the Kzinti of TAS and the Mirak of SFB fame. (I believe I can work with this compromise) Kzin-Mirak Dinofelis-class cruiser: Smilodon-class battlecruiser: Megantereon-class battleship: Eusmilus-class frigate: Eofelis-class destroyer: Nimravides-class light cruiser: ' Metailurus-class corvette: Xenosmilus-class police ship: Direct Links: https://i.postimg.cc/bJVfmV18/Kzin-Mirak-Dinofelis-Class-Cruiser-00.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/9Q5tMrk6/Kzin-Mirak-Smilodon-Class-Battlecruiser-00.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/x8QNQz85/Kzin-Mirak-Megantereon-Class-Battleship-00.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/hvXG1YWw/Kzin-Mirak-Eusmilus-Class-Frigate-00.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/YqP0nMdS/Kzin-Mirak-Eofelis-Class-Destroyer-00.jpg i.postimg.cc/053ymxL2/Kzin-Mirak-Nimravides-Class-Light-Cruiser-00.jpg i.postimg.cc/ncDcGgJK/Kzin-Mirak-Metailurus-Class-Corvette-00.jpg i.postimg.cc/W1mNQZth/Kzin-Mirak-Xenosmilus-Class-Police-Ship-00.jpg
