Description
Here's a Star Wars piece I would of entered to the ILM Art Department Challenge if I had caught wind of it in time. I've been loyal to the time frames the challenge established, this stage was 3 days. This stage of the challenge was:

This is the common object that inspired my Danji ship designs: i.imgur.com/6TLlY8u.jpg
DIRECTOR’S NOTES
“We can go a little more exotic with some of these forms, but they need to fit in the Star Wars universe. Keep to the ‘used world’ theme and utilitarian feel to everything.”
REFERENCE
We talk a lot about Joe Johnston and Ralph McQuarrie and their contributions. Another designer who made an impact was Nilo Rodis Jamero. Nilo came from an industrial design background for General Motors before he worked at ILM. He was well known for looking at common objects and seeing possibilities as something else. The Slave One ship was inspired from a street light and the Hospital frigate was “What if we take an outboard motor and turn it on its side?”. This ingenious way of looking at things is one of the things we look for. Please see the brief for more info. And no toasters please. There is only one MrConcept Art.

DESCRIPTION
A new faction has joined the Rebel Alliance – the Danji. They’ve brought their armada of vessels and military ships. Do some quick sketches of some of those vehicles highlighting their function. Big and small. Much like the Model makers finding everyday common things and making a space ship from the basic shape, we are asking you to do the same. Find an industrial form/product that you think might work. Similar to Nilo Rodis’s Slave one (street lamp) and the Hospital ship (an outboard motor on its side). Post that image in your submissions.
