        Hi there...
        One of the reason I am always here in SCF is to see your continuous masterpiece, for my inspiration πŸ€“

        My comment would be...

        I think a ladybug should be more red than black. About 2/3 are red and the other 1/3 are black in terms of body color proportion. Imagine that the windshield is red, but then you will have a ladybug that fly backwards. πŸ˜†
        Two large black spots on each side of a ladybug wing that may be represent by turn signal lights, or anything might add more "ladybug looks" into the model. Side mirror more to the front wlll look like the ladybug antennas.

        Cheers Hussel for the praise, lol, i dont want to make it look entirely like a ladybug/ladybird, i just wanted to give it a shape that resembles one, also iv a logo for the side im working on right now which is a ladybug on a spot, if i made it look too like a ladybug im sure it wold take away from the design, after all no one wants a car with black dots all around it, πŸ˜†

        on second thought...yeah...you're totally right. πŸ˜†

          I'm glad you agree Hussel, too much of a ladybug look would make this unattractive to the male of our species, lol, the logo for the side which I will reveal close to the end design will have a beastie ladybug look to it, it will all be revealed soon, not forgetting the other concepts I'm working on with the same design, for example wheels for a road version and so on, also the future fly able version you see now isn't finished, short wings have to be added to the thrusters, also the cockpit I want to redo so only the glass opens up leaving the upper air intake attached to the main body, I hope to get the lights finished first and to finish it all off I'll be posting an animation with all the finished designs, a bit more work to be done. πŸ˜„

            All rendered images are low Rez, I'm looking for quick renders to keep you up to date on my project, will be adding high Rez images and an animation once the project is near end, would love to hear feedback or advice on this concept, this is my first future car concept and I'm only new to the science fiction side of modelling, hope ye like it.... πŸ˜„

                  There's really bad banding in those images. Especially the last one around the cockpit. Pump up the render quality to do it justice.

                  Is the top of the cockpit the bonnet of a mustang?

                    Iv the renders at low quality for fast renders, will post better renders soon, spot on with the mustang, I copied the design for the top, mustang is my all time dream car, i didnt get it exactly the same but close, its a cross between a mustang and viper, cars i love, well spotted Rich πŸ‘

                      Finally this WIP is comming to an end, ill add this rendered image and will post up a few in the coming week, i must say im not normally a SCI FI modeller but i really enjoyed doing this model, it was a challenge to rig the trusters and landing gear for movement and i dont think it will be my last SCI Fi model either, What i have learnt from this is the beauty of imagination and the freedom to do anything in Sc Fi modelling, there are no set rule, no restrictions, again i will post more in the coming week but heres an image to view of the finished Ladybug concept. πŸ˜„

                        Can I see native SU in Monochrome with hidden geometry on?

                        There's some weird reflections going on. Is that ShaderLight cranked to the max?

                            Does it allow the use of HDR images for lighting?

                            Or background plates?

                              It allows both Rich, just don't have a good Hdr to suit the theme 😳

                                            This wa my first SCI FI model but iv learnt alot since this and would like to revisit this concept again and start from the beginning, there were a few things i wasnt happy about with the end result and most of the topology was very much bad, so heres a start and hopefully i will update this each day i work on it comparing the topology of the old and new, maybe some others can learn from my previous mistakes πŸ˜„

                                            LADYBUG_REVISITED.png

                                            Im sure the image shows how the topology is very bad on the old model, the new 1 is much better and cleaner, but not finished, but you can see the difference already πŸ˜„
