It's a flying saucer!

Hey guys. I'm back again, this time with some ship concepts.





Andalite fighters! I still need to reread the books, but I'm pretty sure they're described in the first one that they're round, slightly stubby, and fairly cute... So I tried to keep the designs around there. I've gotten the impression that Andalites seem to prefer the more organic, round sort of aesthetic, so... I dunno, trying more circle and sphere shapes.



awewoaiue I hate the dome ship ;; Flying mushroom? What? What? What? HOW DO YOU MAKE THAT LOOK NICE. Also I'm having trouble picturing it functioning. Assuming I stick with a vertical design, how would it land? Would it break apart to land? Would it land intact? How would its members disembark if so? Is its interior vertical as well? That seems kind of awkward design for a quadruped species. Then there's all these gravity issues and how it would move in space and aaahhh this is why I don't do spacecraft, I don't know nearly enough ;;



Aaaand some interior sketches. Even more issues here- what would compose the flooring of the ship? Would it be grass? I somehow doubt it'd be purely tile- any amount of turbulence and you'll have a crapload of andalites skidding all over the place. I remember the Jahar had grass, but that was a custom built ship, so... I dunno, need to work this out.
