Little concept for one of Orium's future ships. Not at all on the same level as Star Citizen lol but at least I've got all the info to model it easily [ #art #conceptart #indiegame #indiedev #scifi #starcitizen ]

Cargo ship concept : Industrial spaceship from SCorp, in shades of blue, steel, and yellow. It can transport containers along the lower part of its bow. It is a ship built by a feline race from Orium

I'm currently working on building modeling 👷‍♀️ It's not very detailed, the textures are all on a single trimsheet that I update as production goes along. But since these small assets meant to be placed on planets I take the time to optimize them ! [ #ScreenshotSaturday #indiedev #scifi #gamedev ]
