Trying to hurry up and finish some of my old works. This one is 3 years old. Any suggestions are welcome.

Here I made some spaceship concepts, on the left are explorer type ships and to the left are more aggressive type designs. Tell me what you think. Thanks in advance.

Hello. Right now the gate looks flat, as if it's paper-thin. I'd add mass to that gate, adding edges that are lit or shadowed. 



I'd also test some high-tech designs on the hull. Really sell that it's an alien artefact.

I agree, add some wear, hint at what the object is made off, right now looks plain. Unless that's what you want? If so, well done. Could make a good abstract cover for any album!
Is this a re-work from 3 years ago? The more I try to cling to a concept, the more I mess it up, but that's just me!

Hi RN I'll be right on it.

Wow, I've never seen this before. Thanks for sharing.

Yes. Almost forgot I had it, found it again a while ago while organizing my files and thought it looked quite interesting enough to work on it again.

 Yeah it probably looks too plain like this. I'll do some more thumbnail research to see what looks nice. I don't want to get too hung up on the details though, don't want it to look overdone.
