+++++++++++++++++ Novafox Shipyards =================
Contract
To construct and prototype a new class of ships specifically designed to bombard planetary defense systems from orbit while withsanding the counter fire from the said defense systems. Must have the same technologies employed by the dreadnaught in its operational use and consturction, the entire ship must be focused on this singlar task of bombardment and resiliance, any capacity for anti-capitol role are welcomed bonuses if able.
Under current Yulai Convention Rules full employment of said ship is illegal thus this ship is to be constructed on the sole propuse of research and protoyping only. Any empire caught activly using this warship in acutal plantary bombardment on any setttlement on the surface will have to answer to the convention, and cannot and willnot hold Novafox Shipyards responsible for providing the hull.
Customers Once again the four major empires of the amarr, gallente, minmatar and caldari have requested hull construction of the teir 2 dreadnaught class seige platform.

Well got done with the corvettes wanted to go back and redo the first capitol ships I ever attempted to draw and well, rather embarresed over how the first mk 1's look in comparison to what I put out now adays. So... they are well over due for a make over. First one up is the amarrian one shape is staying the same just more details than last time to help make it look more capitolish.
Comments suggestions critiques requests are welcomed. =============

Your ship designs are very good in my opinion.
I loved the sheriff jones one.
On a constructive note, I prefer the edges to be a lot harder than I've seen you use but brilliant anyhow.

I love the overall design, but I don't think it fits well with the Amarr. In my opinion, it lacks the gracious curves and domes that Amarr architecture seems to fundamentally built around. The curves just seems a bit too broken up in their general shapes, but I think that's mostly caused from the bottom half being rotated 180' in terms of the curve.
Again, personal oppinion. - - - Aloriana Jacques - Skill Sheet

I seen the four amarr captiols, and theres nothign gracous about them, only thier freighter seems to be well inline with thier style.
Your opinion is valued though but line work is just a guide line for when I do the paint and final finish. Ill be sure to toss more amarr in though, Getting hard to convey massive, elagance, and pure agression worthy of burning the abominations before it is not that easy. =============

You could try making the bottom part not as straight and have it kind of curve backwards, even keeping the general design with its bumpy bits and such, but just have it kind of gracefully slope back (think of the amarr missile frigate kind of)
Also see what happens if you make the top bit kind of bulk out again slightly around a quarter of the way up from the main bulky part where the up/down and sides (wings, whatever) join. To give it a more beefy and solid look
here is a bad photoshop to try and demonstrate kind of what i mean. The botom part should probably be larger and redesigned to actually look right with the backwards curving, and the part at the top doesnt look anything like i think it should look like properly, but its the right size.
Note that what adding that bulky bit does is that it gives you a solid base for a proper amarr half/banana iconic structure to spring up out of it and look right while still keeping the overall tallness of the ship, with out making it look too thin.

It's too busy, Amarr ships have a mostly smooth surface, not a garbled one. |

Prophecy has a bunch of bumpy parts. I think with proph in mind this ships general lumpiness is just fine. |

I was thinking about choppigng the bottom section shorter and rearranging as a sensor array and blucking up the base of the top section a bit more between the arms and main body as the wings do fold back out of seige mode.
Ill see about tossing more curves in though, but most of the bulk is revelation and aurgor inspired both not very pertty ships in the amarr navy. |

its a capitol ship though, it has to be busy in order to look large, if you seen any of asgier's concept art of the capitol ships hed has a monopoly on busy. |

Testament 15% done and uploaded ot the first post, Ill continue working on it and improving it as I go.
The gallente one is mostly done with its overhaul on design the engines are providing to be an issue. The minmatar one is getting some updating to conform to the new republic designs. The caldari one is becomming more satisfactory with each revision. |

30% testament been updated
Sorry for the delay the kenzoku threadnaught almost scored a wrecking hit on this thread.
Oh the gun pylons are being worked on however due to their nature they are being built in another yard. While those are being worked elsewhere well be installing critical systems through out the ship including the much needed armor plating and reinforment hull beams to further enhance integrety and apperance, and well be onling the reactor sometime next week hopefully so at least well get lights on to be able to work the later hours when the station is oribit behind the planet.

Edited by: Nova Fox on 17/02/2009 22:28:52 Disaster at the shipyards.
The construction site of the Testament was mostly destroyed a week ago, alot of my workers are died in the incident and all the work done with the testament so far was lost, including the original blue print. Cause of the incident is still under investigation however Amarr officals are contempt with blaming some of the recently freed slaves I decided to hire, I want to blame thier reactor the amarr navy representatives where installing that day but concord is still shifhting though the debris for any clues and of course bodies. Alerting the thousands of family members of the incident also took alot of time. Materials lost where equatable to a two battleships since these hulls are only simulations alot of parts where left out. Workers however will be hard to replace, this is also the largest smugde in novafox shipyards safety record, last incident was before we started zero-g construction.
However we've grown over the year quite a bit, who said we didnt have a second ship in construction for the Gallente? To appease stockholders to assure them all business isnt grinding to a hault we revealed the Hephaestus MkII to the public, though still under construction alot of the inner hull is complete just the means of installing exterior systems now I do say it probably rivals every ship NFX shipyards in terms of being Veinly challenged.
/roleyplay off
Well got alot of feedback for the testament and was going to 'modify' the work done so far instead of starting over, but fate had other plans and destroyed it entirely. Yeah... so I now am forced to start over on that ship but it gives me a second chance to right all the wrongs I did.
The hephaestus (affectionally nicknamed the heffer?) was something I tossed together real quick in attempts to make my mind calm down after getting fustrated at the loss of the other ship and most of the work you see for that was about an hours work. not sure what I can do with alot more time though well just have to find out. Overall shape is finished just going have to detail it now.
As always all updates in the First post.
and 20 isk to the person that figures out the main inspiration for the heffer. =============

Too much verticallity for a non minmatar ship. Seriously. Make it more horizontal or it wil be trespassing the race style boundaries.
The gallente shape has too many detailed curves so it does nto look massive enough. Make it more on "huge blocks needed for assemblage"way. ------------------------------------------------- If brute force doesn't solve your problem... you are not using enough

Merlin Imicus Hyperion called they want thier vertical back too.
Testament has two profiles, the seiged and unseiged modes, in unseiged mode its profile is more linear froward as with most ships in eve are. thus it being perfectly veritcal isnt the case, in seige mode the verical shape takes some more definition from the side but from the fron the horizontal profile disappears as the two weapon pylons swing out to help heat from the guns vent.
Thus this being a nal***ar knock off is a far cry in most cases.
Asgeir the ccp art director used to do ships for eve and did all the original capitols read from his foot nots on his ideas on how to make things look massive one of the things he tailored on was extreme busy details and alot of decks (floors of a ship) to help increase thier sized apperance. Gallente design is often the hardest as you really cant barrow to much from another ship ull and still call it unique, something Ive been getting away with the other races ships so far. (ran out of ****pits for the minmatar and caldari.) =============

sorry for the long delay had to rework the heffer twice you can tell between 40 and 45 done on how the entire shape was redone. 45 has notes on how the heffer would behave ingame still no stats and probably never will have em. but if you want you can try to make some up worthy for a teir 2 dread =============
