Design doodle commission for
kinzhal of his character's (I think) as yet unnamed space craft.
Was a good bit of fun stretching my vehicle design muscles again :3

I can see an issue with CoL vs CoG but I am digging the baby-B1 aesthetic, it definitely has a rock solid near-future sci-fi vibe to it. :)
Honestly I was considering you on a list of artists to do some aircraft illustrations for a project of mine, is that something you normally open for?

I'm still really pleased with this - I came up with the concept & provided some artistic direction, but it was iPoke who translated my vague thoughts into such a good-looking artwork. I still find myself gazing lovingly at it from time to time! It's a sleek spaceplane akin to Star Wars' iconic light freighters, capable of whisking 4-6 people across the stars in reasonable comfort with a decent cargo capacity to boot.
Since a few people have asked, this spacecraft is meant to have variable geometry wings, even if the idea of a quad-wing has its appeal (& I might just steal the idea for a future design!). I'm well aware of variable geometry's shortcomings (perhaps maintenance costs are partly why Zhuro, my jackal treasure hunter, lives such a hardscrabble existence?), but I've always loved swing-wings.
Plus I'm a huge fan of spaceplanes, logic be damned - and a buttery soft sci-fi/space opera setting forgives a multitude of sins, too.
iPoke, you're an absolute joy to work with and I'd love to get another com from you in future!
P.S.: I did eventually figure out a model name for this starship - the PA-22X Maestrale, produced by a company called Polaris Aerospace. Sadly I've never been any good at names, so I'm still unsure what to call my jackal's very own one, besides perhaps Zephyr - but I'm always open to suggestions!
