Covenant Warships; Seraph class starfighter

[ArcaneDude]

Pretty self-explanatory. I'm gonna make some Covenant ships, out of pure boredom, and because I've been hunting for good refpics for ages now, and finally found them. So here they are.

C&C is always welcome.

That...is one of the best ships i've seen somebody make.
Especially of halo.

[Venator]

dood wtf itz all prple, need moar colorz.



My issues with Bungie's colour choice aside - nice rendition of the CCS. I'll be interested in seeing other ships (can we expect UNSC vessels from you or nay?)

Thanks. It really helps having ref pics. My first tryouts were horrible, and got lost (fortunately).

@Venator, I don't know about UNSC ships. Once I find good ref pics, perhaps.

[DeathsHand]

Woah. Substantially better than anything I could have even possibly imagined up...

One pointer not shown in the picture- If you look for the E3 Halo 2 original trailer, the one where MC jumps from the station and careens into the cruiser, it shows the CCS type ships as having longer canard wings on the bow(nose).

[ArcaneDude]

It has those, yes. But as you can see in the reference, those aren't visible from the top.

Ah, ok. I was using a different reference...

But seriously

[Blackhart]

heh, thats pretty cool Arcane
nice job

[ArcaneDude]

I have found an equally excellent reference picture of the Covenant Assault carrier, and I will be using my mediocre artistic skills to draw reference pictures for some non-official ships. I'll see if I can get a full fleet together. \o/

[xphoenix87]

very cool, though I'm not sure it really conveys the smoothness of the design. I think for this type of ship you might be better off making it darker and using outlining to capture that smoothness. Still, very cool for the way it was done.

[antisocialmunky]

Two things.

The part where it gets wider midsection isn't very pronounced on yours.
It looks very smooth, but it also looks flat. Perhaps some silver highlights would make it rounder.

[jwa8402]

That is damned impressive, even more so for a fan ship. I didn't even have to close one eye and squint to see the resemblance like usual. I do think highlighting would be interesting, but don't make it too much darker because I like the detail more than I like the refpic. As usual, modestly designed and well thought out.

you gonna start designing ringworld? :twisted:

[ArcaneDude]

I could use highlighting with it, but I don't really want to. I've used several shades of purple so that it resembles the interior detail as good as possible. Might need to make the difference a bit clearer in some places, though.

you gonna start designing ringworld?

Gee, I don't know. NO?

One word; Scale.

Besides, it's called Halo, da?

Hell, even the Forerunner Key Ship would be...immense in this scale.

@AD's above post: Owned.

Also, in the first Halo, a Halcyon could fit inside the halo ring

[ArcaneDude]

A CCS class cruiser (big ship, way bigger than a Halcyon) is 1.7 and a bit kilometers long. A Halo installation has a diameter of 10.000 kilometers. Size, anyone?

And why do you call me Arcalane?
If you get confused, just call me AD. Everyone does that.

Allright, a few updates for the CCS, DL will follow shortly;

Code: Select all

Weapons; Torpedo launcher was made more effective. Now it is 600x10 Damage points - 23.3 second recharge time

Aesthetics; Minor changes to the hull, interior details more visible.
