Flea Class Scout Gunship Concept

 Finally got around to finish this project in3D. For some reason the Flea concept caught my eye and just had to model it in 3D"No AI generation "after viewing a prior 2D illustration years back! Workflow as follows Sketchup for base model/mesh. Final render in Cinema 4D /Photoshop for post work. Thanks for taking a peek.  Michael.

Crimson Wing Fly-by Concept

Planetary Fly-By of a newly discovered distant planet ! Cinema4D and little photo-bashing. Fun stuff should invest more time on some details in the foreground  but i am calling it the day on this one .Orthographic views available here. Thanks for stopping by Michael.

Flea Class Fleet Scout Concept

Hey guys every once in a while there is a design that captures your eye ! I would like to give a big shout out to Artraccoon and a big thanks for letting me use his awesome illustration as a blueprint  to turn the "Flea Concept" in to a 3D project with my own flair ! This is a preliminary sketch so there will be much  more to come with some realistic renders in different scenarios.
Sketchup/Photoshop combo. Thanks for taking a peek.  Here is the link to Artraccoon's the The Flea

Heavy Cruiser Icarus

Tactical Heavy Cruiser called the “Icarus”. Modeled in Sketch up Pro then  rendered in Cinema4D. Post production paint over in Photoshop.A more detailed view of the Icarus is available right here> fav.me/dc3cvpq
Thanks for stopping by. Michael. 

Project Dark Strike Runway Scene

Hi guys this is my new concept ship called “Dark Strike” is a futuristic high speed fighter jet from the re-established Wolf pack squadron.Dark Strike houses a miniaturized Plasma Rail Gun turret under the fuselage that fires high speed velocity projectiles at Mach 7.5 to wipe out satellite's and other key target's with precision. Modeled in Modo and Cinema4D then Rendered in C4D AR3. Post-production paintover with Photoshop . Just trying to keep up with you younger guys.Hope you like it !

Astral Shepherd

Just an idea from a strong subject matter that some of us got into back in the early 70's. Transforming this project into plausible Sci-Fi I have been mowing over this 3D model from a few sketches i saw from many years ago. This may explain why such a modular ship design . Objectivity goal was to design/model a early 1970s sci-fi vessel that governs and monitors multiple worlds that have written treaties and passed agreements to treat space as a cosmic commons. Some of you may recognize the "Theta" symbol and what it stands for. The Astral Shepherd protecting "Ecology"in space from strip mining and polluting natural resources of the planets and negotiating and maintaining complicating treaties.Modeled and rendered in Cinema 4D and a Photoshop paint over post production. Thanks for stopping by. Michael.

The Tempest Concept Craft

A project that had a mind of its own for once .... I wanted to model something that resembles a bird of prey type concept aircraft .This idea was inspires by my nature walks and intense bird observation at a local lake near where I live, its really quite the sanctuary introduced by a very dear special person i know .Well i do wish i could have done quite a few things differently in the modeling  Dept. but anyway i will call it the day for now and move on ! Cinema 4D Post production Photoshop. Thanks in advance for stopping by Stay safe.

Star Tallon

Going for that retro 1970s "Foss-esque" type space craft once again! Inspired design by the great Garmac. Modeled in Cinema 4D Rendered in AR3 post production with Photoshop. Cheers and thanks for stopping by . Michael

Project Dark Strike

Concept “Dark Strike” is a futuristic high speed fighter jet from the re-established Wolf pack squadron.Dark Strike houses a miniaturized Plasma Rail Gun turret under the fuselage  that fires high speed velocity projectiles at Mach 7.5 to wipe out satellite's and other key target's with precision. Modeled in Modo and Cinema4D Rendered in C4D.

Sky Crane Concept

Little Mule is a futuristic  military utility vehicle designed for heavy lifting of heavy payloads in and out of a battlefield in a not to distant future. It   also doubles its uses for civil protection and fire suppression. I designed the Sky Crane to have tractor like characteristics to demonstrate its might.Hope you guys like it .

Babylon Five “Icarus” Delta-Class

This is my adaptation of an addition to the Earth Alliance Heavy Cruiser from Babylon 5.The new Delta Class Advanced Tactical Destroyer called the “Icarus”.The  Icarus also doubles as a research vessel for deep space exploration in search of “The First Ones” an ancient race from a distant galaxy to help battle the shadow race. Just paying homage to my favorite all time Sci-fi show Babylon5 from the early 90s, this  might shed a  little light for the modular design of the ship. The bottom last image is the sister ship “The Hyperion”in dry dock. Base mesh modeled in Sketch up Pro .Then all the rest of the  final modeling and detailing / rendering in Cinema4D.

The Last Star Fighter “Gunstar”

This is my adaptation of  the Star Fighter "Gunstar" . Modeled in Cinema 4D and rendered with AR3 .Post production composed within in Photoshop. Just paying a little  homage to the the 1984 Ron Cobb design of the ship . And the movie The Last Star Fighter.

Star Ship Accumulation

Various star ship designs.Modeled in and rendered in multiple software's such as Cinema4D or Modo  or Hexagon

Icarus Star Ship Concept

After holiday fun ! A little time on my hands..

Freedom Concept cg edition

Two months of hard surface modeling was involved in the making of this model the software's used were Modo and Cinema4D, final render in C4D AR3.
The original concept sketch  of the "Freedom" was created by  Simon Atkinson  in 2000  a well know designer illustrator from the UK. Simon granted special permission to recreate his concept called "Freedom" from  sketch paper to my own 3D CGI version  with my own flair. I believe the concept was for a proposed TV pilot  that never aired . Zoom on in for the detail.
Thanks for stopping by . Michael.
