Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all my fans, followers and supporters. I wouldn't push myself or my art to the next level without you all.

Enjoy.

Since I'm behind on posting I thought I'd share what I have been working on.

Started a Vorchan model. Still a wip.

Rebuilt an old ship design from scratch.

Built a civilian shuttle for my growing post disclosure Stargate fleet.

Did a concept collaboration with Hellkite for a smaller post Dominion War Cardasian warship.
My basic sketch

Hellkite's interpretation.

And the early wip for the 3d model.

And that is where I am now. lol

Those are all cool. I really like your cardy attack ship. Any chance of that one being made into a full playable SOD? I would definitely put her into my game!!:thumbsup:

Unfortunately I have a feeling this one will be outside most games polygon count. I'm guessing the finished model will be around 75k-100k.

But when it is done and someone wants to take a crack at a lower poly game model they are more than welcome.

I found a Vorchan model on Thingyverse, and discovered it was a very complicated design (which is why I haven't printed one yet). Nice start and Good luck with it.


I think Carter was watching to much Star Wars (Y-Wing) and Battlestar (Viper). Nice design though
Yeah the Vorchan is definitely an interesting shape for a ship. If I did try to print my model I'd probably break it into peices to make it easier to print.

With the Civilians shuttle I wanted something a bit different since it will probably be manufactured by a private corporation vs the military. So call it a reimagining of the technology of Stargate from the public sector point of view.

No problem RJB i figured your model would be high poly. I was just hoping. Looking forward to seeing your cardy ship finished.

Hello:
You know how I love the Ares class, but it is also great to see the Abydos class with the gunship pod like this too :thumbsup: .

I bet the Phoenix is still your main AU ship?

Awesome stuff RJB, I love all of your SG designs but I also have to make special mention of the B5 sketches, the Arcadia, Gunship and Patrol Ship are excellent! I would have loved to have those back in the days of B5A2.

Yeah pretty much till the point when the Excalibur comes into play. Then it becomes a whole new generation of ships.

Well I finally got all the parts of the Cardassian attack ship printed. Still have to put it all together.

Now to paint her, probably the most difficult part of doing physical models. I'd rather paint a car (which I have done) over something so small and detailed lol.

Always coming up with ideas for the expanded Stargate universe. Helps keep the ideas flowing.

I'm working as fast as I can. Lol

I wouldn't mind a 3-4k poly reduced version of this Cardie ship at some point...
EpytronOmega talked about possibly doing a low poly version so we will see what happens.

Some new art.

B5WideScene - NPS.jpg Superwide Group - NPS.jpg Feb6BG2022 Group - NPS.jpg

New projects.

A few days ago I wanted to do a little world building in my post disclosure Stargate setting (Beyond the Gate). I was thinking about small tools that you would start to see around in that future setting and my first thought was Star Trek style Com Badge that a crew of a ship would use. This is the design I went with.

I might start to do a few other small items in the near future that can be printed out. I feel it helps give the setting and ideas extra weight.

This is a very early work in progress but the idea behind the Dauntless is further integration of both Asgard and Ancient technologies into our own. Not as heavily armed as the Phoenix class but faster and more maneuverable. She will be a rapid response ship.

Enjoy.

That combadge/Patch looks perfect and Loving the the new ship, the asgard influences are perfect.

I must say that you do a really good job with the arty ink-style images :thumbsup:

I'm also really liking the Dauntless, you can really see the Asgard and Ancient design influences while still seeing that it is clearly a Tau'ri vessel, all without it looking like a kitbash. Well done.

I wanted for a long time to do an energy weapon to go with my future based Stargate alternative timeline. So I finally got around to that.

Also some random scifi art.

Interesting gun design, who's technology is it based off? Ancient? Asgard?
