Meloncov's Sci-Fi Illustrations

[Thanatos1]

Sweet tank, one of your best.


When mapping a bg to a sphere, the effect looks like a double fish-eye (side by side). I don't know how to do this, but I'm experimenting with Photoshop.

Thanks, but I'm actually still feeling rather disatisfied with it. The texture doesn't quite work in places, and the whole shape doesn't feel very original.

After far to long, I had the epiphany that it would be far easier to apply a background as a texture to the interior of a cylendar then it would be to mess around with Doga's background spheres (of course, it means you can't have the camera look strait up/down).

Another model, a carrier for the ship I showed earlier:

 

[Thanatos1]

A Cylandxiar! Genius! I'm concerned you might run into problems with that though...

I agree the tank texture is off, but I like the sections on the barrel of the main gun, and the feel of the model in general.


The carrier reminds me of 2001




Open the pod bay doors hal...

I fixed the texturing:

 

[Thanatos1]

Why does the beam get larger?

Testure looks like bricks.

It's a small mistake in the object placement that I'm to lazy to go back and fix.

They're supposed to be metal plates, not bricks.

I like the bg structure


Request:

The Cathedral of Mercy, the largest and most powerful ship of The Keepers. Armed to the teeth, the Cathedral is several hundred meters long, but this is not a battle ship; it is a ship of terror: meant to keep the population under control. Although impressive, the Cathedral of Mercy is almost useless in battle.

I'm imagining:
Big
Shiny
Bells and whistles (it looks like it can destroy a planet, neigh, an entire system)
This ship is the face of the government, so it is flawless, i'm thinking gleaming and flawless; no cracks, dents, or scrapes. Remember, it's built and maintained with nearly unlimited resources.

Err, you are the Thanatos 1 I think you are, right? If so, why can't you do it yourself.

Still, I would be willing to.


Yet another re-texturing of the hover tank:

 

[Thanatos1]

Yes, and yes I could do it myself, but:
you are always complaining about not having enough requests,
I thought you could use a challenge,
and I have no idea where to start.

Edit: like teh new texture and the pose

Well, here's something:
