Another oldie of mine that I did for the 36 Days Of Type instagram art challenge back in 2003.
Every year creative people from all around the world make their interpretations of 26 letters of English alphabet + 10 numbers using any imaginable medium form graphic design to photography & painting and anything in between. So I decided to design and model letters as various spaceships in Blender.
Though I skipped the numbers (I hate math and numbers) 
So I only made 26 spaceships for that challenge.
Workbench view of the model with no texture:
Modeled in Blender, textured in Blender using semi-procedural texture set up I made for this art challenge and reused on few more spaceships from this set 26 illustrations. This set up is made using image with decals I made in photoshop (basically a set of random geometrical stripes and dash patterns) for color accent (here it is red) + some js placement generated plates for bump + set of grunge noises and ambient occlusion combined with some procedural edge ware. I moved around the UV layout of polygons till the abstract decals texture would start to look interesting. Letters G,H,I,J,K and R use the same texture set up, it was done to be flexible using different textures as mask so I could recolor the texture like I did for the J, K and R letters. Rendered In Blender Cycles.
Some more textured renders:

Thanks for your time.
Hope you find it interesting
