General WIP thread for Art Challenges.

First post is a WIP for April 2024's Art Challenge, "Inspired by Laura".

Oh, it's adorable! Like a chunky little Steamrunner!
Have you thought of a role or purpose for it - like a cargo runner or something?
 
I think this is all kinds of awesome, @blssdwlf! I’ll have to agree with @Cyfa in that it both reminds me a bit of a beefier version of the Steamrunner class (although that lineage is already somewhat apparent in Laura’s design) and that it kinda looks like it’s a cargo ship. Or at the very least something with a more military purpose, because its angles are letting me think of a stealth fighter. Either way, I think this is super cool. :bolian:

Funnily enough, the way you’ve set up the renderings (with the blurred background and the table-esque surface on which the model rests) and also the design itself remind me of the Innerspace series of ships/play sets that Playmates released in the 90s. I almost expect the saucer to open up, revealing a bridge set to put those tiny figures in, haha.

Thanks @Cyfa and @Michael !

LOL the Playmates toy idea would have been awesome.

I originally did envision four belly torpedo launchers and two shoulder launchers but I got distracted with a civilian version... :whistle:

This is so cool! And definitely a yacht - lovely big windows for gazing out into space while the crew runs the ship (and brings one a glass of Champagne or twelve

). The rollbar thingy even reminds me of a sail in the side view.
I like how you've interpreted the diamond lights of Laura's original, and is the '18' the same typeface/font as used on internal labelling in TOS and ENT? If so, nice choice (and if not, it looks like it to me

Thanks! I wish I had time to give her a proper yacht interior :D As for the font it was the default "Bfont" that came with Blender and I just got lucky with how it looked :whistle:
