Meeting room illustration & Ready room update
🕑 Added 2024-04-04 19:23:39 +0000 UTCHello everyone,
I hope you are all doing well!
Meeting room
So, last time I shared some plans for the bridge area. And part of the plan was to illustrate the meeting room -and so I did! This is the final result.
Below you can see a gif of how I made this room.
Now as you can see, I changed several details in the room while refining it. First of all, I mounted the table to the floor. My initial plan was to make it float, but after reading some of your comments on my sketch I was pursuaded to change it (for the better). Thanks KingLoot! :)
And a bit further along the way, I removed some chairs to give the captain more space, and I added some more personal items to the table to make it all a bit more interesting.
Ready Room – update
Now as you might have noticed, all areas of the ship have a distinct look. And the bidge area should have that as well of course. And after drawing the bridge itself, I felt I found that distinct look- and so I matched the meeting room to that. But after doing that, the ready room suddenly felt really out of place. Something was missing.
So, I dove back into the illustration and updated it a bit. I changed the captains desk so it looks more like the furniture in the other two rooms- and I changed the ceiling as well. And while I was at it, I also updated the screen on the wall, so that it more resembles the scanner-game that attached to it. 
And here you can see how the three rooms came together. They might need another round of tweaking perhaps, but at least now they have several common elements (I also attached this image, so you have a bigger version).
Well, that's the update again. I hope you like it & till next time :)
All the best!

Thank you Erik! And about the stars behind the windows; if you refer to the images in this post; some are from my concept art, and don't have moving stars - but in game all these locations have speeding stars behind the windows. However, I do think there are a couple of rooms where I still need to switch that, and add in the moving stars (I think in in thebiolab, and in the lounge when you talk to hank and rosa). Well, I'll add it to the to-do list again :) Thanks!

Nice! Love the subtle redesign of the captains desk and its resemblance to the meeting room table. One detail that bugs me though is inconsistency in backgrounds regarding the view to space outside. It looks like lightspeed in some screens and still in another.

Haha :) yes, I always imagined the captain would cheer up after fixing the coffee machine. And one thing could lead to another of course :) But I haven't made it part of the actual story yet..I'm thinking, perhaps it should be the very very last thing fixes on the ship? :)

Any chance of gaining the captain's favor by fixing the coffee maker in the ready room?
