This is an unfinished sketch of the Crimson Wing, a spaceship used in an RP I'm in.

Very little of the design is final, although I'm rather happy with the way the cockpit section came out.

The dorsal protrusion contains the crew cabins; two on the port side, and one larger one on starboard.

To the rear you can see what will be one of the ship's five engines when the sketch is complete. The exact placement of the engines is still TBD.

The small dot on the side of the cockpit is a weapon port (pulse cannon, to be precise). The one on the bulge amidships is a missile launch tube. Each of these has a twin on the other side of the ship. A third pulse cannon will be placed above and behind the cockpit section, between the two halves of the crew compartment, on the ship's centerline.

The angled section at the bottom-rear is where the cargo ramp is. The ramp acts as the main access to the ship in most circumstances. There's a (relatively) small forward airlock on the port side of the cockpit section.

The four landing struts, which are not yet pictured, extend from either side of the cargo bay area (just forward of the cargo ramp) and from the forward ventral area, just behind the cockpit section.

The cockpit section itself is also a self-contained shuttle in its own right, called the Dragon's Head, which can separate from the main body of the ship when something smaller than a freighter is needed.

For the most part, I like how this has turned out, although I'm not sure the scale between the cockpit section and the rest of the ship is what I want, so it may get changed. Heck, expect a good deal of this to change before this sketch is finished.

This will be moved to my Scraps at some point, but for now, It's going in the main gallery.
