Maesron Gunboat Tender

[IcyPenguigo]

Hey guys. I'm pretty new to this forum. My name is Adam Turner. For anyone who hasn't seen it, I've got a thread that shows a lot of my finished artwork and explains more about myself here:

Anyway, this is the latest ship I'm designing for Amarillo Design Bureau, the Maesron Gunboat Tender. The Maesron Empire is located in a distant part of the Milky Way called the Omega Octant, which the Federation and its Alpha Octant neighbors have not contacted yet. Compared to the Alpha Octant, the Omega Octant is a very strange place, filled with bizarre life forms, unstable empires, and cataclysmic conflicts.

This ship itself is designed to carry a flotilla of gunboats into battle. Gunboats are tiny starships, packing in only the most essential systems to move and shoot. They are fragile and short-ranged, hence the need for the tender. They dock with it at those four extensions on the top of the ship, on either side of the sensor dish.

Anyway, let me know what you guys think so far. Any comments are appreciated.

Pretty cool design concept that

It seem like this could be a beginning of an interesting project. So...do no hesitate to show us more.

It´s cool, but I would go with less regular greebles. They are too uniform.

It's finished for now. There's more I'd like to do with it at some point, but I've got a deadline to meet.

Nice! I love the color, and the Homeworld-esque markings.

Thanks! I absolutely adore the art in Homeworld, and influences from it tend to creep into my art all over the place.
