I must say this is cool. I like the colors, but you do know that the shape is wrong, right? Not trying to burn you down in my rightous fury of rightness, but still... I've seen the models for ships used in an offical game for the Honor Harrington series, and they look... very different.

But I still think it looks cool. Everyone has a right to draw as they see fit, and if you think this is what Honorverse warships look like. I'm fine with that.
I like the idea behind it though.

My headcanon designs had a more flattened-out look than Weber's book cover designs, too, particularly because the description of a "hammerhead" on either end gave me the impression of being horizontally oriented rather than having both the hammerhead and the spindle of the hull arranged longitudinally (and also because the book designs, ahem, look like they should be made of silicone and on sale at certain adult establishments).

Oh yeah, I know it's totally wrong I tried to give into this model an impression which appeared right after reading the first book - without looking on any designs or official arts: only what author told + imagination. I suppose it's a better way to dive into universe created by writer. This way feeling of a book is much more... Well, personal

And thanks a lot for commenting I really tried my best with this one.

This for some reason looks like something Boba Fett would be flying around in.
