Space Battle - Pitch Image & Ship Iterations
This was the process I took to designing a space fighter ship to go with my pitch image.
On the pitch image I had designed ships with random shapes, and this was an opportunity to flesh them out. In the past I considered vehicle design to be outside of my comfort zone - I think I've proved myself wrong!
Ultimately, the final design took ideas from the iterations as a collective.
The brief called for a vista of futuristic ships fighting each other in space, something that had action and was colourful.
I designed the logo too, using the 'Madura' font as the basis, and edited and stylalised from there.
The mood board, referencing elements that will influence my fighter ship design.
Fighter Ship design A.
One of the main feedbacks that I got from my last portfolio was to include more developed and finished ideas for my designs.
I like the idea of the engines moulded into the wings.
Fighter Ship design B.
This design is based off one of the random ships I painted in the pitch image.
The idea for the holo wings appeared here.
Fighter Ship design C.
Here I started to lock down the shape I wanted for the ship, something that was less bulky or elegant - more faceted.
Fighter Ship design D.
I really liked the idea of the wings folded under, but feedback suggested that the shape looked more like a cargo-type ship.
