Some images I did to support some tips and tutorial in my book for one of the chapters. An industrial ship called Diona Lee. In the book I cover some of the principles, steps, and thought process behind this. You can find more here: https://guidebook.jolua.com/ Feel free to promote / spread the post so it might end in the hands of someone interested.

Inspired by 'How Buildings Learn' I did a concept showing the beginnings of how hard use could alter the appearance and configuration of a cargo spacecraft.

Hummm.... As SpaceX said, there's only 6 months left to colonize Mars, by then we all known Elon Musk will declare independence and wage war to all mankind. Luckily Japan is building the first Gundam recently, I guess there's always hope in the dark

The Leviathan, Emperor Calus' planet-eating pleasure ship. Thanks to Art Director Mike Zak for keeping me on point when I tried to make it square like other Cabal ships. The curved shape language really helped inform the rest of the Leviathan palette.

Recognizing the dire need for a ship capable of fast operation in unsafe territories, ORE created the Venture. It was conceived as a vessel primed and ready for any capsuleer, no matter how new to the dangers of New Eden they might be, who wishes to engage in the respectable trade of mining.

The Venture has amazing abilities to quickly drill through to the ores and gases it's after, harvesting them at the speed necessary for mining in hostile space, and getting out relatively unscathed.
