It's my birthday tomorrow, but here I am doing homework like a good little boy! I hope that's worth an extra 1% (only kidding... but not really).
Today I have some drawings to show! Some development sketches for the spaceship, getting pretty close with the design now. Just a matter of drawing some details and tweaking various bits now, I have a lot of fun with this kind of stuff!
Also, as it's something I've been curious about for a while now I scanned a few images in a few times, to see which file format was best for this, it seems that .tiff slightly blurs the lines, .png is the same quality as .jpeg but a slightly larger file size, though it does preserve alpha channels. Anyway, for scanning purposes it seems .jpeg is the superior format!

| My initial thumbnails, trying to get an idea of shape and form. |
 |
| A side and top concept of one of a ship, didn't seem large enough or human enough so I moved on. |
 |
| Experimenting with conal shapes, again didn't seem human or practical, also a quick sketch of a 'space city', there could be lots of these dotted around relatively local space that humans colonize. |

 |
| The first ship was my interpretation of a Star Trek ship, and I'm actually pretty fond of that one. It was also this page where the idea for a hadron collider as the energy generator on the ship. |
|
 |
| Here is my favourite of the designs, the one I've been developing more. I'm still torn between using a 'reactor' vs using the hadron collider idea, though it seems fairly insignificant it affects the design of the ship quite a bit as you'll see in my next post. |
Ok so that's my initial ship development sketches, I had a lot of fun playing with symmetry and shapes here. I think that's enough for one post. I'll be back with more later!
