The Making of The Clairvoyant - Forward Scout Star Ship - Captain Katyah Carter

The most important space craft in the story of the Quantum: Origins universe is the Clairvoyant, piloted by Captain Katyah Carter.  It is aboard this space craft that the majority of the protagonists from my story travel about the universe.  In order to create a remarkable and memorable star ship that will be capable of garnering fans from the sci-fi genre, I've enlisted the help of Russian artist Alex "KypcaHT" from deviantart (KypcaHT.deviantart.com).  Alex is creating the Clairvoyant in multiple angle sketches and will be building the space craft in Sketchup to provide a 3D model.

The Current level of progression is shown here with previous images and versions listed in ascending order below:

Clairvoyant - 2nd version sketch by Alex - http://kypcaht.deviantart.com/

Clairvoyant - 1st sketch by Alex - http://kypcaht.deviantart.com/

 The second sketch version features extended 'leg thrusters' over the first sketch.  The extension gives the Clairvoyant a broader, more menacing and powerful look and approves upon the overall aesthetics of the look.


The first sketch of the Clairvoyant develops a monster of a ship, 14 modern car lengths long with obvious military power evident in the large weaponry it features.  The bridge also offers a massive multistory view to space which was one of my main requests in the design of the ship.
