Space ship Yamato from the Star Blazers series. Long before there was Akira, and even before Robotech and Macross there was Star Blazers [link] . The first episode was based off the movie Space Battleship Yamato which was received so well it spawned a television series. The movies plot was in the future one of earths enemies had radiation bombed the planet from deep space. The Yamato was sent on a rescue mission to Iscandar to retrieve the Cosmo DNA, a cure for the radiation. They had to travel hundreds of light years and back in a years time before the earth had become radiated beyond recovery. Using a newly developed Wave Motion Engine, they could jump across vast distances but the engine required tremendous power so they had to use it sparingly. The output of the engine could also be used to fire the Wave Motion Cannon, seen at the front of the ship. A weapon of tremendous power, it had the ability to destroy small moons.

First time trying this type of artwork so there is a lot of learning and experience needed but I'm happy with the results.

The ship looks pretty good--my stepdad was a Star Blazers fan for a long while, so I've seen the episodes...umm, years ago. :D

My only nitpick is wasn't Gamilon (the bad guys' planet in the first season's arc) co-orbiting with Iscandar? ;)

Years are like fractals. The more you've seen of them, the more you appreciate the details of each one, rather than how many you've seen.

Looks very cool. I also watched that show in my youth!!!!! It was cool to see your image. I did a 3-D image of the Yamato. In my Gallery here. You said this is a first attempt?? Vdery well done!!
:iconformor:
Very cool, Jeff :D I never heard of this series so I can't comment too well on it but I like what you did here :D

The planet/moon in an orbit around the planet on the upper right looks a little unfinished in my opinion. The ship looks a little out of place with the different styles and bright colors. Perhaps I might understand this better if I were familiar with Star Blazers. Everything else looks good, though.

The lineart is very good... I think you managed very well the perspective. You could add more dark colors to add depth to the ship, and adjust a bit the tones to adapt it to the environment. I think the planet needs lighter colors to add highlights, like reflecting the sun light..., it needs depth, in my opinion.

To add highlights and shadows would be good if you want the ship to luck realistic; if you want it to look comic-like it's good as it is, although darker tones in the back of the ship could work a bit better for the image to go with the perspective.

Very good first try, indeed. :thumbsup:

I love the planet. It kind of reminds me of the marbles I used to play with as a child.

Ah Robotech and Macross , those were the times :lmao: though I think this is before my time :lol: great work!

Hmm, i like that you are trying out new styles. :)

1. I think the whole image lacks some action. The ship is simply leaving the planets behind, there's lots and lots of empty space.

2. I think once have drawn the ship you could have made it more similar to the style of the whole image. Firstly the color, and then the cartoony style of it. Couse now it looks you took two different pics and simply stuck thme together.

3. Textures man, add some textures. Its for the best :)

Othervise, the space is very well done. :)

Have a nice day :)
