Description
[update]I uploaded a new image with fixed shadows, windows and laser turrets.
Finished drawing of my custom Nebulon C class frigate. This one is supposed to be the most advanced in Nebulon line, placed both after my own Nebulon A and Nebulon B from the Star Wars original trilogy:

If they are smart they would, fans have passion and passion is a huge motivator. Your skills in concepting and modelling is excellent, you've create most of my favourite fan designs for Star Wars.

Yeah but judging by the modern company standards, I guess they will need someone who can do a lot of work in a short time and be cost-effective

I think this type of attitude leads to the less quality shows and work we now see on TV compared to 10 years ago. All the good shows are cancelled due to being too expensive despite their popularity.

Yeah in earlier shows they had literally tens of artists designing tons of stuff, and now the studios are full of supervisors, managers and dozens of other people who just look at things. I know it might sound silly, but Joker from the Dark Knight was spot-on with his saying that people plan too much. Planning doesn't work in creative department. You can tell a modeler to do three ships that he has on his desk, but you can't order a man to design 20 different ships and hope that one looks good. I had one person tell me to do 4 designs of a ship and he will choose the best. It ended before it began but only for the good, because my next reply would be "if I feel like it, I will do 30 ships and if not, I will make 2". People, mostly business-oriented minds just don't know that creativity doesn't run on anything and it's unpredictable.

Truer words never spoken, a lot of these higher ups don't have an understanding of how an artist works or how art is created. It can't be rushed can't be given a timeframe and expect the best possible out of it.
I doubt I could ever work in the industry for that simple fact.

Yep, it would probably be hard for me as well, so I am better off that way

I agree, many say if you can turn a hobby into a job then it's the best job you can have. I'm of the opposite opinion as if you turn something you enjoy into a job chances are you'll loose your enjoyment from it.
π: 0 β©: 1
Well, if YOU turn it into a job then it's good. Things are different if you're doing that job and have someone above you in the business. That's what sucks the most. I can't imagine someone looking over my shoulder and shouting "moar ships, we need three extra buildings and a space station done in 1 hour and 43 minutes !"

Yeah I agree entirely. I am rather slow in my creative processes and that's how I like it. As you say you can't rush an artist.

It is better now, somehow the brown hull remind of a slaver ship from Enterprise season 1.

Which episode was that ship in ? I don't remember all of them
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh actually it is Season 2, Episode 17 - Canamar.
π: 0 β©: 1
Ah yes now I remember that ship

Just needs some lights for windows matey
Some wear on the hull, discoloured panels - and she it there

Yeah I will have to make an update on it

This looks like a speed variant. With the tight angled nose it also presents a smaller target. Great design!

You could call them the "Fed Ex" version.

Nice design work. Looks very stream lined. Definitely like it!
π: 0 β©: 1
Thanks ! It started as the main silver hull and then I started adding parts to it. I guess that for a kitbash, it turned out rather sleek
π: 0 β©: 1
It looks intersting. The weapons and turrets are missing or hidden in the hull?
π: 0 β©: 1
A bit of both actually

It certainly seems to fit in the lineage. It appears as though it could have modules attached below the bow, not unlike the canon Nebulon-B frigate... though hopefully not so ridiculously many.

I like the design, but it doesn't have much of a nebulon feel. It seems almost like it's more of a Hoersch-Kessel designed ship, with more emphasis plates that cover vital components (like the Munificent-class star frigate), whereas the nebulon frigate series was always JUST functionality, and were rather bulky. The Nebulon-B and Nebulon-B2 are very distinct in having the very unique design of two pods connected with a bar, which while it was a "design flaw," probably wouldn't be removed from the ship series. /lore shenanigans/
It really just looks like a slightly scaled down half of a Munificent CIS frigate that was flipped over (in my opinion, of course), but it's a cool and functional design nevertheless. (yay for critique-ish comment that will probably get me haterz)
I would still give the design 8/10 to 9/10 for uniqueness of design within the Star-Wars universe, though I've seen that style quite a few other places. Nevertheless, keep up the good work!

Thanks for the in-depth review
I agree on the fact that it looks much more aggressive and angular than a typical Rebel ship, but since a lot of them originated from Imperial vehicles I decided to add plating that would resembe an Imperial vessel. As for the design of this ship, I based it on my Nebulon A and stripped away some parts of it, while altering the shape of the hull a bit.
With that being said, I will still add some more greebles and extruded parts that will resemble the popular Rebel ships a bit more.
I will try to update the ship as soon as possible

I wasn't necessarily saying that it didn't look like a Rebel ship-the Rebel Alliance were scavengers, and even used the famously Imperial Star Destroyers as well as the TIEs at some points through the campaign. However, the Kuat Shipyards Nebulon design had the very distinct two-pod design held together by a long bar, and was primarily for escort duty. The rebels saw the ship as a mini-capital frigate, even though it really can't stand up even to the Victory-II class destroyer.
Nevertheless, I like the design, but it seems like it's more of a ship designed FOR the alliance, rather than one that was "cannibalized" in the rebellion's desperate grab for resources. I like how you took pieces of the design from your Nebulon A, but the ship just doesn't seem to fit the "Nebulon" line. If that makes sense. Naming conventions and such shenanagins can be confusing-your designs would be in the same series, but not of the Nebulon line of ships, probably something more like...I dunno. But not Nebulon, is what I'm trying to say. :s

I like it, it's progressing nicely. Are you planning on incorporating any features from the Nebulon B into this one at all?

That is going to be brilliant!

I'll do my best to ensure that

Rest in Peace Ralph

Yep he will be remembered as one of the best sci-fi artists, way ahead of the times. I know I'm not even a percent of aritst that he was, but I will do what I can do be better than I am now

You may think that sir, but I think you are a worthy heir.
Sides your art is in a league of its own with your superb minimal designs that radiate greatness!
That's why I keep coming back sir
π: 0 β©: 1
Haha I know that so far I am still years behind what the best sci-fi artists did but as time goes, I will at least try to create my own style ... with simple line drawings and similar texturing
π: 0 β©: 1
Best to have your own style than to be a sheep mimicking the shepherd.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah but I would be mimicking one of the best artists 
π: 0 β©: 1
Agreed - keep wowing us sir

that ship looks freaking awesome!
how big is it?
I would like to design the technical data again
