- top part is glass, for civil area..

.. inspired by Tierno Beauregard piece https://www.artstation.com/artwork/obVyB
- I usually tend to block out really large volumes and then go to zbrush and slash away with zmodeler, I really got a pipeline now.. I stopped using procedurals as this actually becomes quicker..
- then back to 3dmax to assemble and copy geometry around, sometimes I reuse parts of things I did before..
- learn 2 or 3 things and repeat them until it's a style
next one - circular corridor
today's theme
fallout vault 404
base mesh 3dsmax, zbrush zmodeler for detail and rocks, back to max, octane and ps

zremesh until I get a good polyflow with large enough polys, and play around the scene and explore the tool and the object..
- here's my version of the alien ship from prometheus (and alien), I mean inspired by those versions..
51-281115 alien ship X2 prometheus inspired
3dsmax for torus shape and base mesh, zbrush for some sculpting and zmodeler for high details, back to max for octane render and PS

here it is guys
I'll just leave a few ideas for you that could be beneficial exercises or just stuff I would like to see
- Halo 1 Pillar of Autumn.
- Halo covenant ship.
- Maybe try a city environment in the likes of Blade Runner.
- You might try something with a lot rounder shapes. I'm not sure how easy that would be to do with your current workflow but doing something with lots of round shapes might be interesting.
- You could probably do something really cool with a Dyson Sphere (A theoretical mega-structure to capture and utilize the energy of a star).
- With the cool backgrounds you have you could make a viewing dock on a space station.
Although your backgrounds are cool with the spaceships I think they blend with the spaceships a little too much. I think setting the star destroyer on a selectively blue portion of that background would help the oranges stand out more bringing the ship into the foreground.
I think it would also do you well to tone down the noise on the backgrounds a lot since you're designs are pretty noisy. This will help pull focus to your ships but give people an area to rest their eyes.
The final thing is the values across the screen are pretty flat. In star wars for example star destroyers are very bright in comparison to the background. This really makes them pop. This is just one example. I think either going with a dark background and light foreground or vice versa would help your compositions a lot.
- anyways, I did round things, so now I wanna do rectangular, and will take your stuff for motivation
- only there's a star wars challenge on cg plus so I'll force myself to do a star wars theme daily - they want cross referenced themes, anything goes, so I'll stick to that, and see if I can get inspired with recommendations
- I'll do a shieldship today (if it doesn't change to something else )
pumped up the background so it read a bit better.. wanna keep my dark theme, which is difficult in all cases..

Are you doing the grebble by hand or you got the good old grebble script in the background (doesn't look like it though)?
How is your mindset towards giving your pieces a sense of scale? In other words, how are you incorporating it in your renders? I'm not feeling the grand scale of your models quite as much as they maybe could, of course this is highly subjective
Looking forward to see more designs from you!

here's a TIE predator class stempunked/fantasy
EDIT: Wait so are these from a game engine, or offiline renders?
Lovely neat look you achieve on your pieces. keep them coming!
- before I used to do bunch of tests, and nothing to show, so this is again learning, practicing sitting down and doing a completed thing, with time ideas start popping on their own ..
.. back on star wars theme for the month - luckily there's tons of tie classes

I was messing around with your technique and developing my own workflow for something sort of like this. I was curious as to how you handle the uv's and texturing. UV'ing something like this is basically causing my 3ds max to crash. At the same time getting textures to effectively use the uv space and keep it detailed without repeating forms badly has been a challenge.
Any insight into this would be very helpful.
