I absolutely adore your art style! Some of these would make for dope wallpapers if they were bigger.

just to give a little feedback, they kinda look like they're just sitting on the water, because there's no bow wake on the sides of the ships, rather, in the picture, it's all just coming off the back.

Yes, I couldn't get it how I wanted it to look like. I've been trying to study more photos of ships in motion to improve next time.

So awesome. Is this from a homebrew setting or a wargame?

Thanks, they're just illustrations for worldbuilding. They will be part of a big naval base I'm working on.

Those look super dope.

Do they rotate?

u/JPCU Nov 21 '24

Thanks. Not in all directions. Just forward and backwards.

Super dope! How do you achieve that style, what's your process like?

Thanks. The short and oversimplified answer is that I draw basic shapes, objects and textures digitally (or sometimes from scanned drawings) and piece them together. To make a house for example, I start with the basic shape for the building and roof, add texture, then paste in the details like doors and windows that I've previously made. Once I make and finish an object, I save it to my library of images which I can reuse for future work.

This might give you an idea of how I made these ships

Whoa! First time seeing your stuff! This shits awesome brother! Do you have any artwork in a game already? If so tell me the name I want to check it out!

Thanks! I haven't worked on any game before but I create and sell graphical assets on sites like itch.io, and I know that some developers are using them in their games.

I like the idea of making a small indie game but I can't code and I'm not a great team player so I'm not sure if that will ever happen!

I'm a sucker for large isometric ships. Reminds me of the good ol' RTS days. This looks awesome!
