I guess I would say the same thing to a real artist

ISBM = Interplanetary Ballistic Missile? A space version of an anti-ship missile or for the purpose of planetary bombardment?
P.S. I'm a Homeworld fan too. As well as a Taiidan Imperialist lover.

Exactly, its a missile with disposable hyperspace drive

maybe... try to tune down the lines, just make the outline bold but the inner lines thinner. I guess that would help on making the color stand out. Not a bad progress so far, keep experimenting!

Oh that line thing is ok I only do that for polish, I still have 2 more frame to draw, this is showing the design for both side.

I like the new one, but I feel that the cannons on the heavy cruiser became less fortified.

Well, being a physicist and all, I tend to look at designs from a practical point of view (something that darkslyer7raven hates about me). It is not like I have studies about space warfare, but from what I know and think:
A- The barrels of the cannons are now more exposed allowing attacks from front and up as well as passing above the ship from the side allows targeting both upper cannons. The first design has them properly covered.
B- The joining angle between the cannon and the wing (which is generally a weak point) is more exposed to the side allowing attackers to target both upper and lower cannons on the same side in one attack run. The older design requires a 45 degree approach path which makes it impossible to target more than one cannon.
C- The back of the cannons show a different plating pattern that indicate a possible weakness to attacks coming from the rare; continues or large plating has more fortified appearance than small segmented ones. The first one is uniformly shielded from all sides.
Also, acute angles (like the ones on the back side of the cannons) are to be avoided when designing spaceships since they amplify explosive damage (explosions on flat surfaces have 50% of their energy scattered away, the bigger the angle from 180 the less the damage; an angle of 60 degrees has only 27% of explosion energy scattered away.
This is just my opinion which you can ignore and still achieve success (not all people are as obsessive and nerdy as I)

Seriously he dislike your practical altitude? Ok all you mentioned where valid, but let's keep in mind that art is a business of communication, things have to be explicit when need to. The arrangement of this design change give a clearer illustration of what its about that add to the aggressiveness of the cannon. The viewer need something to see and the design of this ship need some highlights. Thanks for point them out but the turret isn't the only impractical thing about this design, if we go serious on that road the entire thing won't exist.

after all these years the best ingredients i could fine to make a fine art are patience and dedication. You'll get there

Design something is not easy I guess.

it is not. realizations of ideas are a long way and could be time consuming sometimes, but that's what it is, to put effort into your creations.

The final product looks simple, as the way thing should be. Im almost done with this one and expect the other takes just as much time.

I thought the light red was an orange at first glance- rather than a shade of the red stripe.
Even so, I really like that as a scheme - grey, white, orange and red. I think the colors your picked are great, and the stripes work really well in highlighting the form of the ship.

About the orange red, I did not want the color scheme distract the form, I have to make it translated like the simple dark and light parts, so I made the light and dark part of red color be different from each other and more intone with the light and dark parts. Oh and the fact is I did not picked the color, it was an existing color scheme from the game itself, but I usual do like Red and white or blue and white colors.
