Tie Advanced X1 Study
Tie Advanced X1 Study. Darth Vader's fighter built with the same thinking and detail that I put into the Tie Fighter study. The filming model was built using parts from the Tie Fighter and I wanted to capture that idea as much as possible. Again from the sketchbook, Vader's personal ship represents next year's model; faster, hyperdrive capable, but unfortunately never given any chance to show off what it could do. Shame, as I liked the design from the beginning.

Tie Advanced Rearview
Tie Advanced, showing detail of rear deck and cockpit ball.
Looking into the cockpit.
Second view of the cockpit
Inboard wing root detail. I changed the detail in the open equipment bay giving, I hpoe, a more purposeful and unified functional look to it.
Beauty shot, forward view.
Beauty shot, rearview.
Cockpit crosssection. This time they had to accommodate four engines and a matter reactor.
Cockpit looking in from the front with the canopy removed.
Wing close up showing waffle pattern panels.
Playing around with the Styles settings. I'm liking the pencil sketch look that it can produce.
