Very different design I like it so far. There are some smoothing errors that you should take a look though. Seems to be a problem from subdividing the mesh. What software are you working on?
I use 3Dsmax. I tried different ways for turning that engine corners. I had to collapse the turbosmooth at one point to be able to cut into the polygon. I might revised the top area to create a more profiled line.
Thanks. It's not low poly anymore (and maybe part of the problem). I did the engine in one piece. And now I wonder if it was a good idea. I know about smoothing, but there is so much twists in that piece that it's difficult to control. I put crease on many places too.
What I am thinking is actually redoing part of the surfaces where the shape is joined.
This update seems minor but it involved a lot of work. Like Viper told me: there was problem with the smoothing groups of the engine and wing. When I collapsed the turbosmooth, it mixed up all the smooth groups and created somewhat of a mess. So, I redone most of them around this area. Wasn't especially easy and it's not perfect but at least it looks more like I though it should be.
Didn't touch that model for a while, done a 2d painting to change my mind. Change color scheme and fix some problems. Doing a new design for the belly. Didn't like the old one.
I lost time on this...I was trying the new version of Cinema 4d. They got some things right but all the old problems still there. Somehow the deformers got way worst. Back to 3dsmax again.
I think I'm not a fan of the deflector-hull (by lack of a better term). The front itself is nice, the hull itself a but less IMHO.
But those nacelles, especially, rock. It's got a bit of a Klingon design vibe going on, so pitching this as a joint Klingon-Federation design would work pretty well. That spoiler is loads of fun as well! If you can find a way to let it rise just above bridge-level, it's a pretty good spot to put... well, whatever in it; be it weapons, sensors or a cloaking device. I like this!
Thanks. I tried 3 shapes for the hull. This was the most acceptable. I draw something, it was more larger and bigger, and took over the bottom part as one shape.
I will try to get it like my original drawing, maybe it could be nice too.

OT: This is the 2d painting, image is too big for preview.
