--in the year 2556, there will be some nuked sticks to use to build a spaceship lol.

--Also I hope that we are doing something other than blowing each other up when we get out to Mars and all that.

--I would have drawn "dreadnoughts of space" with the best of 'em but now it looks like that is a bit glutted TBH, so I'm gonna try to do more civilian designs than military.
03 Jul 18:09
--Also I want to get away from purely military designs and so some exploration and civilian driven stuff.

--Like you look at it, and it looks like something we might build in the year 2556 or something. I want it to make sense.

--I'm more interested in hard-SF style so I want it to be clear how every ship I draw works.

--Yeah I think it's just the shapes scott uses or something which I don't like
03 Jul 18:06
--Oh yeah, John Harris did the cover for "The Dark Beyond the Stars", I loved that cover.

--A lot of new stuff which is all like, high detail functionally driven tech, is cool...but it doesn't really interest me as much personally.
03 Jul 18:06
--But yes, I get that feeling as well. Scott seems to be more of a car dude than a spaceship dude. I appreciate how well they are drawn, but I don't get a sense that they could work in real life.

--Anime mechs and tech are always pretty satisfying too. And Old school Syd Mead is jaw dropping
03 Jul 18:02
--I know it when I see it I guess. I look at a lot of Scott's stuff and can appreciate it, but it mostly looks a bit retarded to me. his spaceships. I like his cars better.

--But what kind of vehicle designs do you like, in general? Scott tends to be very rounded and bulbous and... even cute, but that's only one style or taste in vehicles.
