3D illustrations...

This is "Evie Foray" as she's listed on the crew manifest, though this SRO (sentient robotic organism) is actually a labor droid with the EV-4A nomenclature. I needed a robot character for other illustrations I'll be doing, and wanted to put her into a scene to make it less boring. Enjoy!

I liked the last one but it looks like the robot is walking on sand. First thing I thought of is you need to show tracks for we it came from.

Keep them coming.

Next a battlestar ship with a kabuto (samurai helmet) as decoration and where the ECCM emitters are located. This is a gargantuan missle platform ship. except for 3 coilguns for close defense, all other weapons systems are missiles and ECCM suites lower opponents Targetting Level by 7, making missiles easier to hit their targets. I tried a different design that failed, so went with the Star Wars imperial battlecruiser for inspiration on shape...

Probably the most complex 3D character illustration I've ever modeled and created. This is the Oni Taisho (oni general), the true BBEG of the Kaidan setting - arguably the Shogun and many of the daimyo are not pleasant people, but the Oni is the true enemy. The Oni Taisho leads the forces of Jigoku in order to destroy all planets that are not oni possessions. I used mostly Japanese styled armor, but there's some Chinese designs in it too. This is a greater oni, who can have four or more arms, one, two or three eyes, a pair or two of tusks from the mouth, some have horns other do not, since the Oni Taisho has much power he has 4 arms, 3 eyes, a pair of horns, 2 pairs of tusks to show his rank among oni-kind. He's armed with a green crystal mace, a chrome pistol, a spear and some type of elemental arcane energy is forming beneath is lower left hand. He is of ogre height, as well. Interestingly this illustration fits both Starfinder and dark fantasy too... enjoy!

Next of the war ships is the ISS Toranaga, a Shishi Destroyer class ship. It shares similarities in the nose design of the Ryu battlecruiser, with the Shishi lion temple guardian statue above the nose. Since it's a large ship which can land on a planet, I rendered on planet. I thought the custom created shishi lion turned out well.

I could post this in my Cartography thread, but since it was finished in 3D using Vue Creator, I'll post here.

I used this for a 3D starship illustration, as the house crest for the setting's shogun, House Taira (a butterfly). It would have been a real challenge trying to model this from scratch. Instead, I used Xara Designer Pro, to import graphics of the Taira noble house crest, as well as other elements like the burning halo symbol that appear behind the heads of Buddhist deities and beings of power. I hand-traced the graphics in Xara with the drawing tool. At completion, I exported the files to AI format. Wings 3D, the subdivisional surface modeler I use to create all my models allows me to import AI files and convert to 1 way extrusions, that I can then export as an OBJ file and use in programs like Poser and Vue Creator.

While I may put a starscape behind it, I'm thinking this will be the logo I'll be using on my Kaidan Starfinder setting books. It's using the symbols I used on the Taira no Kiyomori battlestarship, the Taira House crest surrounded by the burning wheel halo symbol behind the heads of Buddhist deities, then Kaidan and descriptor in jade. It meets the style I'm trying to present.
