In a Far Away Galaxy, Number Wing Spaceships

In a far away galaxy, letters shaped spaceships, have inspired fans to create spaceships for every letter of the alphabet.
However, the shape of numbers appears to be an unexplored area.
In an effort to innovate, I have decided to design a series of spaceships based on numerical shapes, thus opening a new field of exploration in spaceship design.

A lot of these look like something out of background traffic in Futurama 😊❤

[@KarlDupereRicher]

True !

[@Avenger85438]

Well both Star Wars and Futurama were based on Pulp sci-fi.

[@lexprontera8325]

@@Avenger85438 I'm not old enough to be familiar with that. "Pulp" as in... paperback graphic novels, I'm guessing?

[@Dingus_Khaan]

​​@@lexprontera8325Because the genre wasn't taken as seriously back in the day, a lot of science fiction used to be printed on cheap wood-pulp paper. That's where the "pulp" comes from.

It's called the X wing

The first 3 wing design was really cool, it reminded me of a spaceship I modeled as a kid in a voxel software.

[@cod3builder701]

Minecraft?

[@sciencebrick6362]

I didn’t realize that the ship designs were numbers and was utterly confused at why the 8-wing had no wings

[@nine-tailedfox1243]

The 7 wing having 7-11ish colors was funny to me

[@KarlDupereRicher]

Good point ! 😆

[@Gamerguy826]

The 7-Wing actually looks kind of cool. It looks like a "what if" Rebel ground attack aircraft that only was a prototype that was never finished or produced.
Just slap some rocket pods under the stubby little wings and there you go.

[@AussieGuy-qb8mh]

The 7 wing confuses me, it looks nothing like the number 7

[@KarlDupereRicher]

You have to look it from profile...

[@FireFox64000000]

As a Star Wars fan, I am deeply offended at how accuracy these are and how good they look.

[@KarlDupereRicher]

Thanks!

[@Vandrock]

With at least half a billion different species, the ships can get wild.💭

[@Nuhuh396]

[@sharkymcshark3392]

Not to harp on about AI but it’s so refreshing seeing a video like this with actual art made by an artist. It looks so much better and the designs actually have thought and purpose put behind them.

[@KarlDupereRicher]

Thank you so much for this comment! 🙏

[@magepunk2376]

I love asymmetrical spaceship designs.

[@KarlDupereRicher]

Me too !

[@Anton43218]

Why?

[@KarlDupereRicher]

why not ?

[@_JellyWalker]

Hell yeah! They are the coolest.

[@KarlDupereRicher]

Thanks !

[@yueshijoorya601]

9 and 7 could've so easily been ramming ships with large blades. Build them insanely sturdy, one single seat, add hyperdrive.
Blitz and carve up star destroyers for sport.

[@KarlDupereRicher]

It’s definitely an extreme sport!

[@luisenriquegalicia490]

I was actually really surprised at how these look like actual space ships, and not the “typical” number space ships you often see in jokes

[@arcanaxiii6665]

Nifty idea, actually. I particularly like the 0-Wing, 3-Wing Mod 1, and 8-Wing.

[@astarte_xo8226]

This was actually fascinating. Good work

[@KarlDupereRicher]

Thanks !

[@davidstrife165]

The second 5-Wing and the 9-Wing actually look like something that could come out of a shipyard in Starwars, very nice

[@KarlDupereRicher]

Thanks!

[@LovePotion_]

Them asymmetrical side designs are KILLER

[@StudioSon-jo9dc]

I'm not a fan of Star wars, but I really like how you made these ships based on the numbers and how star wars really think to name these ships!

[@KarlDupereRicher]

Thanks !

[@darkAwesome100]

"Oh cool you got the new 6-wing"
"No, this is just my old 9-wing."
"... but it's only got one wing?"

[@TheLastPhoen1x]

Those are actually pretty good looking and distinct ship designs, not just memeships I thought they would be.

[@KarlDupereRicher]

Thanks!

[@customink1576]

This is giving such "Mr. Incredible learns the truth..." energy and these are the prototype starship designs that systematically took down the galaxy's best - Force be with us when the 10-Wing is launched.

[@hfar_in_the_sky]

Honestly though that first design for the 3-wing does looks sleek AF

[@KarlDupereRicher]

Thanks !

[@Scarletdex8299]

If it exists, it can be turned into a Star Wars spaceship

[@zenniththefolf4888]

4-Wing: *Has 3 wings*
Yeah I know it's shaped like a number 4 but it just feels weird to me lol.

[@KarlDupereRicher]

Shame on me ! 😉

[@Gamerguy826]

4-Wing just looks cursed to me. Not to mention the aircraft armor is as flat as a pancake so good luck bouncing off laser cannon grounds fire.

One of my favorite also!

[@VorpalSlade]

Took me a whole lot of saying "but that's still only got (x) many wings" before I realised

[@Xport9]

Bro, I love these spaceship designs! So damn good! However, 5-wing is the coolest.

[@randomredshirt5274]

My personal favorites are the 2nd 2 wing, the first 3W and the second 4W.

This was cute, creative, and artfully rendered.
I especially liked that you tried both vertical and horizontal layouts for many of the numbers.
Very fun! 😊

[@KarlDupereRicher]

Thanks !

[@marsar1775]

these are all pretty good concepts tbh. you could use the 2nd 8wing design as the basis for a tiltroter design if u elongated and bulked up the fuselage a bit, for example

[@WJen8]

Wasn't there a Rick & Morty episode where sentient letters were at war with sentient numbers? These would've been perfect for that! 💯

[@Jolis_Parsec]

Just another day hanging out in a random space station and watching ships fly inside before landing in No Man’s Sky, as I swear the ships random NPCs tend to fly in that game are some of the most bass ackwards designs of spacefaring vessels that I’ve ever seen.

[@lighthousegravyP51]

These are my kind of spaceships.

That 0-wing looks like pain in the ass to handle.
