Cool picture! Sounds like it's a formidable weapon as well. I'd like to design some cool looking spaceships for the Astral Fantasy series as well some time.

Yeah the Xandu are jerks, 'nuff said. But they've got some pretty nice ships! My main influence for this ship was the "alien attacker" fighters from Independence Day, and this was actually traced over a much cruder sketch of the same ship I did 10 months ago.
Hey, maybe I can help you design some ships sometime!

That would be great! You seem to be really good at making futuristic looking stuff, you could perhaps design some of the ships seen in the game, that would be cool!

Yeah, I remember how much fun I had drawing Ryu the dragon for you last year, I would love to do some good old fashioned mechanical designing! What kinds of stuff would you want me to design?

Well, you could perhaps design some Jovian and Versian ships, maybe some character designs as well seeing as how you're much better at drawing humans than me. The Jovian ships resemble something the Zentraedi would fly in Macross (except that their ships are typically a dark blue color with red lights and stuff), the Versian ships resemble craft from Star Wars or perhaps ships from the Phantasy Star series (take the Landale for instance). I'll let you know a bit of the characters as well if you're interested.

I'll see what I can do, just note me sometime with what you want to see drawn, like describe it and its features as much as you can to me and I'll see what I can do.

Well, I always felt that the Jovians should have ship designs inspired by the Zentraedi, here are some examples.

The ships of the Versian League I felt should look like ships from the Gradius games

or ships from Gundam

maybe a bit of Old Republic ship inspiration from the Star Wars prequels

Basically, the Jovian ships have a more alien looking, streamlined design but still rather gritty and formidable in appearance, while the Versian ships resemble classic, metallic craft like something you'd see in Star Wars, Starfox and any number of other science fiction universes. I hope this helps a little, if you want more info I'll let you know.

I'll see what I can do, but it'll probably be quite awhile.

That's fine, take as much time as you need.

Thanks. I was inspired a lot by Independence Day, namely the "alien attacker" ships.

Neat and would like to see more of this in the future.
