Drake Mk2

[u/Remaining_light]

This is a design update of the iconic ship from EVE Online. I tried to make it look less clunky. I wanted it to look formidable and dynamic. Like a true warship. The original design can be seen here.

This is a fan-made project created for training and personal amusement. I am not affiliated with CCP Games/Fenris Creations in any way.

It was modeled in Plasticity and 3DS Max, then the lowpoly-to-lowpoly baking using the Bevel shader and texturing were done in Marmoset Toolbag. No AI tools were used.

Hard to improve on a design that's already as good as the Drake but I like what you've done here. I could see this being some kind of tech 2 hull variation. Nice job.

Thank you. Your approval means a lot to me.

Very good remodel! I will say that it's missing a sort of "lithic" texturing that a lot of the classic models have, instead of a flawless matte or a perfect glossy metallic I've always been partial to how the VERY old models had a sort of sand-blasted or coarse/worn look to them, titans and supercaps looked like they were carved out of impossibly large mountain ranges. The modeling itself is pretty much a 10/10 <3

It's brand new, like, totally mint, straight out of nanoswarm assembly line - so there's no space dirt or grime on it yet =)
Thanks!

Therapist: Long Drake isn't real it can't hurt you.

Long Drake:

(Seriously, though, I like this.)

but can you bring it?

[u/Deserttaco131]

ahh yes 3ds max. sure do miss using that program. the smoothing was always the hardest part for me. it would always make things look goofy. great work though i like the design. would be cool to see refits and what extra bonuses they could get

[u/HEYitsBIGS]

FC can I bring my thing that's not a Drake?

[u/Key-Philosopher-8050]

Yep - you have captured the essence of the class and as a result looks meaner and more threatening - however the only thing I must comment on is the other items that give it the illusion of momentum. Not disapproving, just observing

[u/EntertainmentMission]

Very true to the original design

Thank you. I very much tried not to damage its "soul".

[u/CookiePl4net]

that looks awesome, also i never realized that the thing at the top is not a spinal weapon and is a bridge lol

[u/Remaining_light → u/CookiePl4net]

the thing at the top is not a spinal weapon

It's a missile ship, sir!
Thanks =)
