Vagrant Queen - The Thunderer (Concepts)

I had the pleasure to work on the 2020 SyFy show Vagrant Queen as a designer. Among my duties was the development of the 'Thunderer' the main villain's monolithic warship.

These are some of the designs we played around with before coming up with the final design as it appeared in the show.

The initial breakthrough with the Thunderer took the form of a couple of super-rough doodles showing a clamshell-shaped warship.

We spent a great deal of time working out the features and capabilities of the ship.
