Kalga's Shipyard (& misc doodles)-Oakman Branch

Eh, might as well port over some of slop from other places. While technically I mainly hang out at FiC as far as my visual creative content goes I figure it wouldn't hurt to post the stuff I did over the years here too. Figures if anyone would like some hard sci-fi (or softer) starships (and other ships and vehicles) we got the stuff (well, pics, and models too if you have gmax).






(note that the star trek fan designs are part of a collaboration, so if you wanna use them you gotta ask both me (the answer is yes) and Charles Markov about it)

I'll probably also use this thread to dump my drawings now that I'm getting that drawing itch again (don't worry, it won't eat into my writing time)

 

Although the real reason, that I actually trust people on the internet (who I never and never will meet in real life) more than I trust people I see on a daily basis, is just too weird to explain. So I don't. Still funny to see their expressions when they see I freely admit to write NSFW stuff.

Edit: fuck I forgot to draw the hat this time.

This is probably the first time I drew both my QQ and my FiC avvie in the same image...

Or right, there's more ships in that lineup

 

Spoiler: about myself

 

Nobody:
Not a damn soul:
Me: I wanna draw a girl fighting her ahoge, a duel to the death

 

Or why my username is green...

BTW, just to make it clear, I don't have any money troubles at all, I just happened to have some rather interesting spending priorities.

 

Or right, some actual ships for once...

 

Just how big can that ahoge get?

 

Spoiler: tried something a little different, didn't really work out

 

Once again, I'm fine financially. I'd never risk any money that I can't afford to lose.

 

Trying to draw a thiccer body for a change...

 

It's true! You can't just shove an unmentioned number of dicks into a single sentence and just leave them there; that's like tossing a box of rubber chickens over your shoulder and not hitting anyone with them!

Well... that would take work and I'd have to actually come up with the plot and—

—okay, you got me.

On an actually serious note, congrats on the drawing practice! I can see you're improving slowly but surely – pretty soon you'll have to redraw the cast of TSAB with more detail so I can write omakes that don't use cookie-cutter characters! No hurry though, take your time...

I still maintain that blender is a better DCC application, and if you intend to post model files I'd urge you to provide them in OBJ format as well - a quick search yields this plugin for getting them out of GMax's limited export options.

 

Thanks!

I think I actually saw that plugin a while back. It confused me greatly and then my laptop crashed. I am not well versed in technology. I might look into that again at some point.

 

Just reacting to this: https://forum.questionablequesting....erson-image-thread.2766/page-125#post-2614342

 

Occasionally I also do naval ships...

 

Some questions are better off unasked...

Also yes the character is female (unless otherwise noted).

 

Don't worry, the ahoge will come back, it's inevitable...

 

Refit/modernization...

 

What kind of ship do you intend that to be? Judging by the lack of rigging, minimal-if-any radar systems, and complete absence of CIWS / AA, I'd think it's an interwar or maybe early WWII cruiser. The fact that it's packing sixteen 12-inch? rifles and presumably twelve 5-inch secondaries, as well as the lack of depth charges or torpedoes really rules out late-WWII and postwar.

Congrats on getting the barbettes right, though.

 

It's more of a gag thing I made as a lark, simply because it amused me, and yes when I said refit/modernization I meant interwar period.

Luckily someone else, in this case Charles Markov, was nice enough to write a backstory to the whole thing (was originally posted on AH.com):
