I see you extrapolated from Giger’s work on Jodo’s DUNE for the Harkonnen ships.

You don’t see enough asteroid ships—Jason Of Star Command style.

 

[USS Jack Riley]

What a great game. Ahead of its time. You really make those ships come to life.

 

[B.J.]

Ooh, Wing Commander! I miss those games. Interesting mix of influences in your art it seems. Some early pixel-graphics games, some later low polygon games, and some movie, but all mixed together.

Indeed... Wing Commander had them, as did Starfleet Battles with the Jindarians

Thanks much!

You have to honour the design language that was created, in order to design something that fits. Use those design cues, then inject your own influence.

The word that comes to my mind with all of these diverse pieces of art is 'imagination', which seems obvious, but every time there's a new post, it just repeatedly strikes me how imaginative and different all these ideas are. Keep 'em coming

A touch of Barlowe I see…did he finish Thype?

Thanks, greatly. I will endeavour to do so.

Thanks(?) I am unsure. I am aware of him and enjoy his creations, I do not follow his work.

Speaking of artists, How about some Giger inspired Art...
Here are a few different ideas that follow and deviate from H.R. Giger sensibilities...

Whoa, calling this “fan art” would almost be a misnomer … this looks as good as the real deal art of HR Giger. Seems like you’re very much dialed into how his creative mind worked. Very impressive, @Atolm!

 

[137th Gebirg]

Was thinking the same thing. You've perfectly captured Giger's visceral style, Atolm. Stunning...

Thanks greatly, but there is only one Giger.

Thanks as well... But I am pretty sure he'd say it is "Shit"... lol

I don't remember if I mentioned this before--but a good in-universe explanation for the Juggernaut/derelict from ALIEN/PROMETHEUS might be that the ship took the form of a rune/hieroglyphics that Engineers used for "death"

Some years ago, there was some Bible Code woo about Hebrew letters having a hidden 3D component, and some artistic models were made of glyphs in three dimensions that would be other ships engineers used.

Stargate used chevrons --but I might make a Stargate in the shape of an Aleph.

Letters as ships might be something you could use.

The Moon called Miranda is a real life satellite that looks as if it had been strip-mined...so perhaps a FAR SIDE cartoon of heavy equipment hidden in a cave would be in order
