Oolite Bulletins

Watcha think? The idea was to redesign the ship as if the game was made new today.

I need to redo the cockpit and shield emitters (round dome thingys)

Very nice ship - but is it an Asp? (if you know what I mean...)

What did you do the actual drawing in? It looks "real" (i.e. pen and paint) but I guess it's been done digitally.

The line work was pencil, inked over in biro. The colouring was digitally done using a program called Art-Rage 3.0. Great little program. Its the most 'real' painting program ive ever used. It was painted using a mouse because my tablet broke!

I personally think it looks a little Asp like, i tried to keep it snake like with a flattened profile.

get making it!

I'm not a natural 3d guy, ive dabbled with Google sketchup but to be honest it takes too long for my tastes. Anyone who likes my designs, want to have a go making them go for it! All i ask is a mention in the readme.

Not sure how 'Asp-like' it looks but it's really nice...very 'organic' looking, reminds me of the crashed ship in Alien (you know, the one with the eggs).

Yeah, imagine what they could do with todays tech!

And you didn't think to tell the DA commenters about Oolite? Shame on you!

Wow, really cool.

At contrary with other people, I do see an asp in it...

Thankew.

It looks great! I like the rounded 'set-in' aesthetic, and the obvious cockpit gives an immediate sense of scale to the craft.

P.S. The Mortis Gunboat is also really nice.

I like it! And, yes, I see the Asp in it as well.
