Hey, I like them. But I have a spaceship fetish, so I may not count.
The third one reminds me of the movie Oblivion. The second one's left wing is a little stubby, but hey, asymmetry is fashionable nowadays. My favorite is the first. It looks fast. :)

Maybe I'll actually get some study time in during christmas, just gotta cobble together a list of stuff to draw :p

I don't think you're as bad at spaceships as you seem to think, but have fun ;)

Top one looks like a futuristic looking Cessina, kinda have a liking for odd space/aircraft

I love sleek, smooth designs, and that too is kinda a weakness, 'cuz I should be learning blocky and fat first :p

Naw, it's good to do the sleek designs cause it allows you to build up to bigger things, at least I think it does. I love sketching those kinds of things.

I am Zen0n, and this is (one of my) favorite article(s) on tvtropes.

Fuck FA's comment system.

Lol, yea, it's buggered me a few times too. I like to use ideas from modern aircraft and try to "spice" it up to kinda look like it came from 50 years from the future. I just rarely upload what I do cause 9 times out of 10, it get's taken down for some weird reason.

Where can I find your uploads?

You won't, I never uploaded them because the are not "Furry" and would probably be taken down by admins, like most of everything else I ever uploaded

Oh. Ok.

Y'know there are other sites that aren't specifically furry, right? ;)

Yah, I know, but I kinda stick to FA cause at least I can have a civil conversation here without pissing one person off, kinda why I don't use DA anymore :v

It's a bit retro-futuristic if you ask me. A bit like a consequent improvement of the earliest pop-spaceship designs... I'd expect it to have a colorful paintjob.

They remind me of F-Zero machines :D

Mmm, the good old days :D

I like them. They have their own identity.

Tip: I found that to draw machinery it's helpful to use an isometric view or build a perspective grid, so you can actually draw asìx and lines through your subject like it was a 3d object to make it really symmetrical!

I'm not sure about the engine intakes in the second, though, they seem too much covered (but that depends on how the engine is built, see http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Warhamm.....E-GUNSHIP.html )

It's mostly a lack of details and my lack of understanding of the shapes, which are both a matter of studying :)

Built for DEEP space PENETRATION!

*facepalm* XD

The 1st and the 2nd looks like a F-Zero spaceship , I love the design but the last looks like a giant penis ...
It used for go deeper ? :3

Precisely ;)

>Terrible at any form of inorganic mechanical design

/pokes to draw giant MechaFen.

Oh jesus.. :p

In a modern-style mecha no less.

We're not giving you easy way out with drawing G1 Transformers-style square, blocky fen. It's gotta have gears, moving parts, pistons and stuff. And lots of hexagonal designs.

Myes.

Nah. Middle one is good. Don't count short and squat and curvy out of the picture. Although proper control tech can make up for a world of aeronautical wrongness (look at the very real YF29 which is unconditionally unstable in flight), it can't make them tougher. The middle one would be one buttload tougher in a practical sense. Plus the lift fans where they are would give it the ability to hover like a 'copter

Yeahhh but why would you need hover capability in space? ;)

Any decent fighter should be able to go from space to atmosphere and that might even go aquatic, in a pinch
