Found it! Spoiler: Arachne, Morningstar-class Spaceship/Timeship I've since decided that she needs to be a lot bigger than she was in this original design, but the shape and proportions are about the same: *central saucer with the living space for her crew and the majority of her brain *4 elevators/lifts and 4 ladders between the two (now three) floors aligned with the engine booms *8 entrance/exit ramps on the first floor, aligned angularly halfway between the engine booms *one large airlock in the middle of her first floor and another in the middle of her top ceiling (originally second, now third) *8 black hole engines, each held radially from the center. Each singularity kept at just under 110,000 tonnes in order to produce about 7-7.5 megatons/second of Hawking radiation (55-60 megatons/second total) for use in powering Arachne's computer processing, life support, artificial gravity, force shields, and charging her temporal engines *each engine nacelle is dotted with lasers, plasma cannons, and 5 rocket nozzles for using excess Hawking radiation as impulse thrusters for traveling through space *trusses between each engine boom (am I using those terms correctly?) to hold her together in case she tries spinning at crazy speeds.
Oh yeah there is someone else I wanted to see this picture. @GingerCoffee Ginger look like 3 posts before this.
Well not that anyone asked for it, but I will post mine. Feeling too lazy to simply re-scan my characters, so I decided to steal the short Bios vid of them from my facebook and upload it to my youtube channel. I know it is not my best work, but I did try hard to make them look as best I could.
My avatar is a scan of a colour study I did in art college, based on a photograph taken by a newspaper photographer of a play I was in (I'm the one seated). The play is The Zoo Story by Edward Albee and was staged at Bruhanski Theatre Studio in Vancouver, BC. I don't know who the photographer was (does any actor ever notice who's taking pictures?) by the review ran in The Vancouver Sun in May 1985.
Ivy's sister in spirit. The sapphire herself. Sky Uuno @KaTrian Tagging you because I suspect you will like this.
Damn... these are epic! I'll have to ask you guys for help when I'm creating my characters I wish I could draw like this! Maybe you can give me lessons
Well, I said I would post something in like page 1 of this threat, and then I got distracted and never actually did. So here's something that I sketched a LONG while ago. It's not as pretty as the pieces before it, but, well...meh. This is something that one of my characters transforms into. Unfortunately, it also means that describing it will be a nightmare.
I love this! The amount of detail put into is fantastic man! It may be a pain describing it, but I say it'd be worth it if your reader is able to imagine that. Or you could just leave that sketch of it in your book.
Thanks. It's good to know that although my writing skills may be undetermined, my art skills are still at a decent standard . I'll probably streamline the design at some point to make it easier to describe. I'd much prefer my words to convey a stronger effect, as opposed to throwing an overload of description at the audience.
So like 30 feet? Ish? I disagree. I don't think you need to change it to describe it accuratel and not be long winded. I just thing, the trick is how adament you are at decribing it. By which I mean, instead of like, pure details. "X number of arms on his right side spaced out about 14 inches apart." More like. "This monsterous fiend stood 3o feet tall, and it had a mash up of arms for its right arm. As if it had eat people and made of its arm of their arms." Does that make sense?
This is one of my VERY EARLY digital drawing of a character. (Definitely feel like I don't do her justice.)
