ENDLESS™ Space 2 is turn-based 4X space-strategy that launches players into the space colonization age of different civilizations within the ENDLESS™ Universe. Your Vision. Their Future.
Civilian: The people of the Unfallen have bright, light blue leaves, can be up to 6 to over 30 meters in height, use refractory crystals like glasses to improve their eyesight, and get the nutrients they need by moving their "feet" through the ground, obtaining nutrients and moisture as they move.
Military: The Unfallen marines typically mold themselves into visually intricate armor-plated shells and prefer triped and quadraped forms for stability and agility during combat. These giants can tower beyond 60 meters in height. Their leaves are protected under the back of the shell, which lets light in, but keeps shrapnel out.
Small ship (Maiden): Going along with a theme of "mother" nature, the ships have feminine names. Maiden being additionally fitting for the smallest ship as it is the "maiden voyage" when compared to bigger, better future ships. The Maiden class uses a tree knot on its side as a port and hangar.
Medium ship (Reine): Reine meaning queen in French, this sleek ship offers more tree knots for hangar bay storage and additional spherical turret placements. These fully pivotal, independently firing turrets are more than practical and certainly unique, but are also designed to add to the beauty of the sight of the Unfallen ships.
Large ship (Matriarch): The Matriarch; the culmination of the Unfallen's pursuit for beauty and elegance during battle. She hosts numerous onboard ecosystems to keep water and nutrient flow properly recycled throughout the ship for its crew's "food" while boasting even more knot hangars, turrets, firepower, and armor than all other ship classes combined.

The ships are quite cool and feel like ornaments, like something I would put on a counter-top.
Now I really like the military design and I agree with... BB, with something that would not look amiss in a Ghibli film, although it is partly due to the choice of colours used.
Your designs remind me of something I would see in a Studio Ghibli film. You have my vote sir (or madam, whichever).
It is sir, and I wasn't expecting Studio Ghibli as something I reminded people of. It's so neat hearing how someone else sees my work instead of having just myself and the vision I had in my head.

Very nice work.
ORNAMENTS! YES! Especially with all those balls on the ship, it kind of gives it the feel of christmas tree ornaments. I experimented with several colours but I kept coming back to the originally planned tealish that seemed to go with their leaves well enough. I'd say the Unfallen ships would also be lavender alloys and maybe something in the ultraviolet (so, basically chrome to us) to give it more character. I almost wish I stayed with a gradient, and I slightly regret shading and coloring altogether because of time constraints (and it's what I'm worst at, heh).
Also; I couldn't have space to mention this in the brief descriptions but, to explain their blue foliage, their chlorophyll adapted to their homeplanet's star of primarily blue wavelengths (like how most plants on earth are green, because the sun's strongest wavelength is green) to avoid being overbeared with light. They don't have too many leaves because they have evolved from being on the move often, usually relying less on sunlight because of the dark areas they tended to explore as primitives.
Another important note to mention is that my rendition of the Unfallen have no mouths (they don't need to eat as they get everything they need through their root feet). To communicate with each other, like real trees, they release one or multiples of hudreds of thousands of chemicals into the air for others to pick up on. This means they have a practically universal language already. To communicate with other species, who cannot pick up on their chemicals so easily, the Unfallen usually have one of their appendage claws molded into a shape to use for sign language.
I like your design quite a lot. I think I may have gone toward the directions of your ships (with this parts covering the "woody" insides, if I didn't go toward a more twisty vines look.

Thank you! Yes, I was intending to have the wood look less basic and, actually, it was meant to look more like how you have detailed your wood.
With that said, I have an announcement to make:
Important Note:
Stay tuned ladies and gentlemen! I plan on posting more concepts of higher detail and of other ideas I had for my designs! I had to cut corners to meet the deadline, so I apologize if some aspects of my work turn you off or if you're still iffy on voting. In fact, I worked on the designs the whole night prior to the deadline and still had 6 minutes left to spare lol
Main plans:
-Better details,
-Additional color concepts,
-Heroes, other ship designs, other military designs, and more
If you are interested, follow this thread! I am more than not finished.
