Major Book 2 Announcement and Some Art

Posted on by

Book 2 Update

Once again it has been some time since I posted.  Real world concerns have been consuming much of my time for the past month.  However, I can now officially announce that the first draft of Book 2 is complete.  Now will begin the process of editing, adding, cutting and rewrites as needed.  It is still far too early to estimate a release date, but the first teasers will be available this summer.  Stay tuned for more updates.

 

Some New Art

At the suggestion of a friend, I have decided to post some early renderings of some of my previous art.  These show various stages in the development of the final models that I use for my rendered artwork.  Keep in mind that most of these are simply for my own visualization and as such will be of considerably lower quality than the finished renderings (textures may appear blotchy).  See the image captions for more details on each stage of development.

This is the earliest rendering of the design before any texturing or major detail work is done.
At this stage more detail work is completed and an early texture has been applied to most of the model.
Here additional detail has been added as well as some model lights. Early textures are still applied to most of the model.
Here is the model in brighter lighting for visualization purposes. I have also started to refine the textures.
At this stage the textures are much more refined and I am experimenting with overall lighting.
This was a lighting experiment regarding the ships ventral thrusters which are active in this rendering. There are also new more detailed models for some of the weapons and other exterior details.
Here is the ship from a different perspective.

This was the first high res rendering of the model from a similar perspective to that which would end up in the final art. Note that the lighting was not finished.
