Cleosethra - Flight Group

Full render of HMS Cleosethra along with its Guard Wings. Initially thought of an animation like HMS Neferith, also of making a dedicated buildings for the background and environment, but in the end resorted to still render and just used structures from past work. Made two versions : arid canyon and icy mountain background (photo by Edouard Tamba and Johannes Mändle on Unsplash). Modeled and rendered in Blender, postpro with Compositor, Gimp and DaVinci Resolve.


Version A :

Version B :


The canyon version is actually the firstly made one, but thought the apparently similar color of the background might clash with that on the ships so made alternate version with somewhat complementary blue for better contrast. Took a glance after finishing the mountain one, and thought the canyon version had more details and cooler looking so edited and rendered it as well (and might be the better one?). Feel free to pick your fave! :grinning:

This has actually been postponed for quite some times, so featuring additional assets in animation format might drag it even longer. The main/large ship was started in the end of 2024 and completed around one year later, as I still had to find satisfying forms for this new ship design/style, among many other reasons.

The smaller one, in the contrary, completed in only around a month. Also added to the fact was there are some other ships with similar designs that ironically already finished first. This made me opt to have some results sooner rather than adding more new works and then only Heaven knows when it will ever be completed …

Anyway, hope you enjoy it !

Double thanks ! :grinning:

These are beautifully rendered - they remind me a lot of the science-fiction paintings from the 70’s and 80’s (in the best possible way). Fantastic work!

Thank you! Drawings/paintings from those era are indeed have their charm, though these ones are still far from that :laughing:

Thank you! To be honest, making new concepts can be challenging, glad to hear you enjoy the results!
