Here are some of the sketches I’ve posted on the #spaceshipaday twitter feed.
Taking passengers on voyages through the system
Winged, orbular space fighter
It’s a skiff, with guns
Interstellar transport with variable wing Alcubierre Drive fields
Hovering ships over a futuristic city
Ship repair and tug vessel
My friend and former co-worker Daniel Fortine built one of my ships in Lego
Commissioned by General Martok, this Bird of Prey has significant advantages over the previous models
My take on the old Galactica
My mashup of classic Ron Cobb designs and possible sister class to the Firefly transports
Capable of refueling by skimming the atmosphere of the gas giants, this frigate maintains the peace in the outer system
Multi-role transport and emergency rescue vehicle
Wings of OABs drop from orbit, screaming to their targets undetected
Just following a vibe on this one. Heavy Moebius influence
Star Trek meets John Berkey
Some kind of orbital transport craft, multi-wing
Clearly from the same lineage as the Sulaco, this variant carries ordinance within massive, armored pods
I love scenes with large spacecraft docking ports
After arriving at their destination star system, the passengers grafted the remains of their colony ship to a local asteroid. This provides them with sufficient raw materials and fuel to stage orbital landing and support.
Approaching an ailing spacecraft, attempting to push it along
Pen and marker sketch
Capable of both atmospheric and orbital combat
More spacecraft hovering on final approach to a mooring tower
Engine / Drive end of an unusual spacecraft
All thrust manifolds wide open for high speed maneuvers
SSTO vehicle, lifting off
Capable of carrying over 2,000 passengers, these ships typically run loops from the Earth to Mars, Venus, and Mercury
Covered in thick planks of ablative and “smart” armor, this old battlecruiser can sustain brutal assaults, yet remain operational and effective
Extrapolated “Queen” stage of the Leviathans featured in FARSCAPE
Support and assault carrier
Pilot on one side, gun pod on the next – flanked by high-energy powerplants
Water-landing capable, this SSTO shuttle is used to ferry colonists and equipment from the Colony ship in orbit to their new home.
Luxury pleasure craft with large glass sides, a favorite for viewing the rings of Saturn in a highly radioactive orbit
