Starships

The original work was published in pp.16 at The Traveller Book.

I was wondering why you made the shuttle look like it was venting so much drive plasma.

@magmagmag I would recommend doing some "cloudy" blurring around the edges of the white exhaust trail so is looks more like expanding gas, rather than looking like a bunch of circles cropped out of the image and simply deleted/left white with such hard clipped edges to them.
 
Thank you for your comment.
I think your point is valid.
I also took on many challenges.
However, my software has a low ability to express smoke, so it is difficult to reflect your opinion.

That's fair. :unsure:
I do not know what kind of abilities your software has.
I was thinking in terms of a blur effect around the edges as being the easiest way to achieve the smoke effect, but if your software does not do that easily then the result you posted is the best option.
 
This painting captures the shuttle from a side perspective, with my original angle of view. It can be seen that she has a pop-up mounting mix turret of equipped laser, missile and sand on the top of the fuselage.
Am I the only one who thinks a slightly extended version of this would make a great scout boat?
 
The exterior is what you say. However, it seems that the renovation of the interior will be quite laborious.

As usual, I show you a cross-sectional view of the shuttle. The standard type shuttle has a passenger seat for 100 of passengers, a cargo hold for 35 dt containers and a fuel tank for 12 dt liquid Hydrogen. The cabin is located in the front part of the hull, and the cargo hold is located at the rear.

The 95dt shuttle is transporting Marines on a planet. The Imperial Marines have dispersed and started to guard the surroundings. A light armed air rafts with missile launchers, pulled out of the cargo hold, are preparing to launch a reconnaissance sortie. The droids are inspecting the shuttle's exterior.

The original work was painted by Mr. Thomas-Peters. His original was drawn for the Rebellion Sourcebook, but was not published in the final publication, becoming a phantom work.
The background photo was taken by Mr. Ronile in Iceland and posted on the Pixabay.

Fascinating, I never knew that work existed and I knew Tom back in the day.
 
This painting is my original angle of view and a frontal view of a shuttle flying over a gas giant. Shuttles also play an important role in such interplanetary transportation.

With this picture of the shuttle, I have drawn all illustrations for the small crafts in the Traveler Book.
These pictures are the battle dresses and drone troopers used in the previous illustration. These commercial models are cumbersome because they have very large file capacities. So I'm modifying the model to make it lighter. Even if they look the same shape, the parts are traced and devised to make them lighter.

This week, COVID-19 knocked me down.
