--The internet makes it easier to let people see your stuff and decide if they like it, right?

--I want to create realistic space stuff in the tradition of SF from Andre Norton and Heinlein and C.J. Cherryh etc.

--if it interests you it always is, even if there were no market for it. it's the 21st century, you can build that market from scratch if you can convince others that your vision is cool
29 Jun 16:19
--I never thought about it that way, but yes, I've always known what I want to draw and design.
29 Jun 16:18
--and if its well enough executed it will prolly get you a job because not many concept artists actually can do that stuff well
29 Jun 16:17
--thats a good thing to follow, write that project down and design everything in it and you got a coherent portfolio thats relevant to the market

--Jinxing to avoid incoming atomic missiles, so everyone has to be strapped in gyroscopic chairs that swivel to align with whatever now counts as the thrust axis. XD

--My style would more be a bunch of space marines trying not to get spacesick in a non-streamlined transport that just broke in from hyperspace and is making a burn to enter orbit.

--That's the style I like. I eschew things like artificial gravity and stuff 'cause I find microgravity more interesting.
29 Jun 16:15
--i dont really have that, i prefer to suspend my disbelief and imagine that a space marine makes sense
29 Jun 16:14
--afaik about the market right now thats a great thing to have, the more grounded stuff gets made way more often
29 Jun 16:13
--I tend to prefer something that looks like something I imagine can exist, but that is because I'm a total space nerd lol
29 Jun 16:13
--I always though it would be cool of artificial gravity in a spaceship worked like real gravity, i.e. it was a sphere and the gravity goes towards the middle.
29 Jun 16:13
--yeah but cou cant hold star wars up to that standard of realism, it was never designed to be that
29 Jun 16:12
--I find it funny that the old-fashioned tailsitting rocket actually makes more sense than most stuff in Star Wars
29 Jun 16:12
--but that wouldnt entertain anyone, but thats your job as a concept artists after all
