Hope it is to your satisfaction :slight_smile:

#102

btw: project update: might have a writer interested…

#103

Nice job Mark, its fun to see such concept change so fast. It’s impressive.
Btw: Dene you said something about no windows? Does that mean not even a porthole? =)
Also: What tasks does a writer have?

#104

here, have a very crappy sketch…hahahaha!

i agree with mike…it IS an impressive thing, to be able to update and change so damn fast…congrats mark!!! (btw mark…what is it you do, job wise? if you dont mind me asking…)

Mike: nope no windows…no portholes, no ‘observation’ lounges nothing…if you go back a page or so theres a post where i go on about this and how i got around it…
and this writer: IF he chooses to contribute, he’ll be doing at least 2 things…

  1. converting my ideas for episodes into actual stories.
  2. creating stories from my plot overview

Ok here is the Aegis MK VI,

I think It has come together nicely, The whole shape is flattened. I even flattened the tail end of the ship. The width of the mid-section has been trimmed and the reverse thrusters housing angled.

As for your question of what i do. I work in a supermarket packing shelves…lol pays the bills and look after my kids. I am currently putting together a graphics department for my parents programming company. I work there 2 days a week but hoping it will pick up soon. That is when the new computer comes back!! working i hope. They had no idea what they were doing when they put my state of the art computer together. I have been hanging out for months to use a computer that has a GiG of ram.

Cheers Mark

phew thought that sketch wouldnt be usefull…seems it was in a format understandable by other humans…hahaha…excellent job Mark…as if you could do anything else…

looks alot faster now!!!

as to the job thing…i was just curious (ok…im a nosey sod…haha) i certainly hope those plans work out dood!!!

btw: all ive gotta do now is re-design the rear protrusion…still not come up with any ideas for it… :frowning:

#107

excellent i am glad its what you want, If you want we can go onto the next and come back to the rear when you have thought about its design.

Mark :thumbsup:

p.s. thanx for checking out the other thread i am involved in, I will be doing the Aeon Flux as soon as i finish some freelance paintings.

#108

cool…in that case we can move on to the next concept! (ill get working on that rear section)

your choice. its either another ship (Cruiser or DreadNaught) or…for a change of pace, a car (not al that important but not as demanding as the ships)

your choice mark.

#109

Or a fighter?

#110

A car, ok you got me all excited now. Give me the specs, I am assuming its a military vehicle (maybe one that gets delivered by a dropship??). Tell me more tell me more …hehe or are you talking of something else car wise??

mark

#111

ive updated my previous post…below…this ones a civilian car… some details

  1. it has no features. its built from that display polymer stuff so it doesnt need lights or dashboard instruments (all done via a HUD) its just a shell with three seats.
    2. the wheels fold under ‘back to the future’ stlye and are covered bt a pannel so that the car can use a citys ‘sky-ways’

    as military vehicles go, well, just have a look at that equipment list i posted a while back.

actually…there is this other car i need designing…
it belongs to the C/O of the ship…he has a thing for old supercars and has his favorite on the ship (the ship is large enough to drive a car down the central cargo corridor, and he would occasionally get to drive it on a suitably smooth part of a planet)
this car would need to look futuristic (maybe about 150 years from now kind of look) but no as futuristic as 2375…when the series i based. its gonna be a road-going vehicle…VERY fast…probably combines all the cool bits of the best current super cars…
you’d have complete freedom on this one mark. your only obsticle is me approving it for the project…frankly, this wont be too hard with this one…

#112

sounds cool Dene,

I like the challenge, when you mean supercar you are talking of Ferrari, lamboghini, Jaguar 2000?? Gullwnig doors and 20" low profile tyres?? appoximately 150 years from now i assume a hydrogene supercharged allwheeldrive system. Lets make it a 2200 sports Hydrocharge So that would make it a vintage car in 2375…hehe

I am gonna enjoy this one …LOL

:thumbsup:

#113

exactly right mr Mark!!!

you mentioned a bunch of super cars…i mean like the best bits of them all but with a massive dose of original ‘Element5’ styling.

it also needs all the faring and mods youd expect on such a car…(neon tube underneath, black windows…REALLY wide tyres that are very thin etc…)
this car should look capable of about 350mph (roughly 560kph) and, should look like its going fast even when its parked!! haha!

Note: this supercar and the car image i posted below are totally unrelated
#114

Just thought Mark, you could call the Car the ‘E5’ or something… or the ‘MarkE5’ or whatever …haha!

oh yeh…just thought…this supercar needs to have at least 1 passanger seat (be it next to the driver or behind or whaterver) …its important…i have an idea for a scene…hehehe!

#115

i agree…i was thinking of having ‘Aegis2375’ as a tv series, 4 seasons of 12 episodes over 4 years. but im not ruling it out as a film (though this might be a total waste of all the hard work…maybe as a film related to the series? )
a game of ‘Aegis2375’ might be cool…again, as a spin-off…hell maybe even as a graphic novel! haha…id like to see this, primarily, as a tv show…then as in as many other formats as possible…personally…haha…dreaming

#116

Didnt had too much time to work on the details… but here is what i’ve done.

So where is the next concept to begin the modeling… :bounce:

We are already talking about a series or game… hehehehe that what be too cool, but at least we can dream heheheh. The Shirow Team as achived a few pages in 3D World gallery. :thumbsup:

#117

HEY, EXCELLENT WORK !!!:thumbsup:

hmm…a couple of minor bits need sorting here dood…but ill post that info when im not all exhausted…haha!!!

#118

I belive to select the longest medium if it becomes a reality. Especially if you want to get as much information out about your universe as possible. So a tv series would be suitable. Even if there would be possible to make only one season, it can open doors for yet another, and another, and so on. The only thing is to write each seasons’ ending possible for continuing the series. Then its just keeping doing the series until the last season. With a extra long final episode could sum up the whole series with the final touch. But yet again, not too final. Possibilities for another stuff would be good to have if someone brings the project to life again. =)

(Let me know if i’m rambling, i’m quite tired right now)

As some personal side-info i would say i like very long series.

#119

ok…just indulging fantasy by going on about this…(well, partly…the whole point of this project is to get enough material together to make proposals to tv companies)

well, originally i wanted it to be a TV series…still do, all the other formats are strictly in the ‘spin-off’ department…

Aegis2375 has an overall plot-arc (much like babylon 5 but more so) so that every-single episode contributes something important to the story.
i think the individual seasons could kind of work on thier own, that is, if only one season ever got aired, it wouldnt be too much of an obvious cut off, but alot of story would remain untold.

i want to keep the series kinda short…dont want it to drag on…and get worse.
but hey, thats if it ever gets where id like it to be!!!

but yes…short & sweet…thats how i want Aegis2375 to be!!! and remembered for years…hahaha!
i may not have mentioned it, but this is something i REALLY want to do…kind of a ‘Life Acheavement’ this is the one great thing i want to do with my life…im totally serious.

#120

ok…

this goes out to everyone who contributes art to this project…Element5, Zurak & Zag…(so far)

im thinking about putting together a semi-regular desktop image with some of the designs placed on it as a kind of promotional gimmik thingie…just an idea…feedback please…

permissions and ideas needed

and, for no real reason…an image of how the solar system will look in 2375…
