Ship Porn: Isaac Hannaford's Concept Ships

Yay! More ship porn!
So my girlfriend and I, being geeks and gamers, are both pretty into Halo in general. And being the awful ship slut that I am, the space-going vessels of that universe get an inordinate amount of my attention.
*WHOOOSH*
"Ooh, look, it's a CCS-Class Covenant Battlecruiser!"
"VIOLET! I'M GETTING SHOT AT!
And that's pretty much how it goes.

So today I came across some images and concept art for ships of both sides made for Halo: Reach. Now, if there's anything I like better than starships, it's concept starships. Of the batch, though, this one was my favorite:

My god, look at that thing! Besides being my favorite color, and resembling my favorite weapon (the Covenant Carbine), it just looks flat-out sexy! The elegant curves of the stern, the winged shapes that almost remind me of the old days of Mobile Suit Gundam, everything about it just screams awesome. It's a true pity that this design didn't make it into the final product.

The designer of this ship is Isaac Hannaford, who maintains a blog full of his concept art, mostly Halo-related. You won't find this one on there, however. It comes courtesy of perhaps my very favorite blog in the Verse. And that is Concept Ships. You want amazing concept ship porn? Who doesn't? Go here! It is pages and pages of some of the most gorgeous afterburners and hull plates I have ever seen. You will not regret taking the time to visit.

If any of you have a suggestion or a recommendation of a ship that I should feature in the next entry, speak up! Otherwise, stay tuned for more!
