Vessel of the Quancing Grig

Vessel is an abstract drawing of a flying craft. It is a redesigned version of an earlier drawing called Spacecraft which is an evolution from an earlier drawing concept called Craft. All of these drawings depict an imaginary flying vehicle shown as it is approaching. The drawing is constructed on a two-fold roto-inverted symmetry axis. The two-fold symmetry axis dictates that all objects are reflected across a horizontal plane. With roto-inverted symmetry, all structures are reflected diagonally. These are two very basic principles of symmetry I learned during a semester of crystallography. In the center of the image are thruster nozzles. Above these are the cockpit windows where the pilot and co-pilot    are located with seats and steering mechanism. Lower, and to the left of the cockpit windows are the  round bulkhead doors leading into aft compartments of the vessel.  The main rocket thrusters are positioned above the cockpit.  The s-like wing structures are transparent so that some of the mechanisms and instruments are revealed. The landing legs are located diagonally from the wing structures and are equipped with shock absorbers and other hydraulic mechanisms. In the center of the vessel body are located cylindrical gimbal structures and navigation lights.
