Homework Submission Week 4

I think I’m going to end this here, because I believe this is about as far as I would take this concept before I shifted to edge-modeling the smaller, more precise details and components.  It’s also the furthest I’ve been able to develop a concept before saying “Nah, I don’t like this” and deleting it.  This is try #7, ha.

This is some kind of spaceship; it is inspired somewhat by the shape of a swooping or diving falcon (by coincidence, @silentheart00!).  I decided to go with a spaceship possibly as a crutch to avoid my “practicality” conflict, since a fantasy spaceship can be shaped like anything and justifications for design elements can always be invented as required…

I guess the muse doesn’t have me tightly right at the moment, but I definitely recognize the value of sculpting for concept design and could see myself using it in the future.  After the work I managed in the last two weeks this feels like a rather flat note; but I’m really liking the designs other people have been able to pull off.
