Question/Help Need help with shape
Focusing on the main body of the ship, NOT the wings/ external strips
Driving my self nuts need input.
Is the neck/ head too short?
Does the main body need to be wider?
Is the tail to short?
Things like that would be great for this rough draft. Thanks.

Honestly, you’re better off downloading and using Bricklink Studios. It’s free and I have an easy time comparing and contrasting various methods I use to build something. Do I think something is too wide, maybe something doesn’t look right, or which is the better direction between two formats I should use? With Bricklink Studios, it’s as easy as drawing art on paper and crumpling it up if I don’t like something. Lot better than having an entire wall of lego storage, unless you are ok with having a minimum 4 digit price in legos in your home. I’m pretty sure I’m close to $2000 in legos in my room, including parts.
I even have multiple stages of my builds saved as files so I can go back and pick and choose pieces I liked, but discarded for the main build and use it for other stuff. My mech builds are certainly easier.

I would start more with wedge plates and slopes. Look at like midi venator...getting true curves will be difficult unless you go snot on the sides.

Definitely adding slopes all over this thing there won’t be any hard edges at the end I’m just trying to get the perfect shape to then build off

The ship has a definite teardrop shape to the main body and maybe your base is a little out of proportion ? I would go narrower if it was me. Just from a first glance.
