Description

My design for the "Create a Starship" contest is a Gallente Battleship class starship.

Note to contest reviewer(s): This is not intended to be a duplicate entry, rather an adaptation to provide explanation of the ship's design elements.
Please disregard this entry in its entirety for contest submission and use the entry entitled "KRATOS - Official Entry" for the contest judging.

Update:
• I've removed any and all Logos
• Reexamined and changed measurements
• Added in human scale

Comment Update
Thought I'd comment on the steps and software used:
First I had hand drawn a few ideas and started modeling in Lightwave3D as soon as I got a solid design on paper. The ship underwent a huge metamorphosis in the modeling process and turned out nothing like its hand drawn beginning. Once I was satisfied with its 3D representation I made high resolution flat shaded and cell shaded renderings of the six orthogonal views of which I used as a background to trace in my CAD program, Microstation (I thought that I could get this done in a day, it took me an embarrassing 3). After the tracing was done I printed them to file as EPS and loaded them into Illustrator where I modified things slightly. Once that was done I imported the vector line drawings into Photoshop and went back to Lightwave to texture the model and do a scene rendering of the ship in space. I took a few screen grabs of space while in game in Eve prior to my Photoshop compilation and soon found out that the resolution was no where near large enough to be used in my comp so I had to recreate the Gallentean space backdrop back in Lightwave.
I originally wanted to enter this layout as the contest entry, but to adhere strictly to the contest rules I've decided to exclude the additional rendered/textured views in the official entry.
