Space Tug UPF Terence Trent D’Arby (isometric projection)
Sometimes I ask my patrons what they want me to draw. Fred Hicks asked (ages ago) for something modern or sci-fi. So I’m finally giving you something. My drawing style doesn’t lend itself well to most sci-fi stuff, so this was a lot of experimenting.
But here’s the deck plans for the Space Tug UPF Terence Trent D’Arby. The image above shows it pushing a pair of interstellar intermodal containers, which is about the lightest load you will find a tug shoving around. More often these tugs will be attached to a rack of a dozen or more containers, or linked up to a heavier ship or a derelict to give it a nudge.

I hope you do more of these!
I was wishing, well, that you could do more of these, too. I noticed, too, that you forgot to sign your name. Don’t let me rain on your parade, but your work is like a supermodel sandwich–not only does it look good, but I’m sure it tastes good.
Dyson, I don’t do space fantasy but I appreciate good work and you do good work. I hope you do more.
Interesting. I saw the pic first, and thought it looked like the whole things was the tug, with the cargo containers as giant tractor beam emitters or something. Those would be how it does it’s job, rather than directly latching on to it’s load.
I thought that ship was now called the Sananda Maitreya.

Nice! SciFi bases would be cool too!
I like it.
It did raise some thoughts though:
1) Where are the toilets?
2) No bulkheads between the outer airlock and the inner cabin?
3) Would you even have windows in a workhorse spaceship, or just monitors? (You then have more shielding around your primary work area)
OK, off to do my own version, cos criticism without action is whining, right? I’ll linky back once I’m done 😀
1.Toilets are in one of the rooms.
2. Silly, yes.
3. In a Star Wars type environment, absolutely there would be windows. Because without them it just doesn’t feel right.
Damn, I was beat to the “Wishing Well” joke!
Finally! I was wondering when somebody was going to say something about my comment.
