Starfox's Arwing : 3D Structure

Long after the last drawing, now some actual 3D works are happening !

This is just a "simple" layout so far, ans it's a good visual clue on how some shapes need to be redesigned.

Starfox basic enemy

After briefly working on the Arwing, now it's time for some basic enemy ships. In the Super Nintendo game, as for the Arwing, each 3D model are very simple (20 polygons max probably). So for those enemy, I just tried something on my own, so they look aggressive, but still with simple volumes.

For now it look too far away from the original, so more research has to be done on my side before further sketches. Also, I never really understood if the enemy were robots or actual people flying ships for Andross.

Starfox's Arwing

After listening to the last IGN Nintendo podcast, I went into a really short Starfox study of the Arwing design + a "re-design" of the main body.

I'm still confuse about what are the vertical elements for, beside for looks. I'll have to figure it out in further sketchs, but for now I'm thinking either for extra fuel tank or booster+intake+antena contraption.

You can find below the last IGN podcast about Starfox.
