Designing An Epic Starship Part 2: Detailing The Trench

This multi-part tutorial discusses designing an epic starship in Photoshop, starting with the silhouette, then moving on to refining the shape, and ending in detailing. While the final results look dimensional, 90% of the work is actually done in 2d in photoshop, achieving 3d looking results with only the most minor 3d work involved. Part 2 starts with taking one of the ship designs from part 1, coming up with a story on which to base the function of the ship, refining the shape, and then detailing the trench area.
