Cythera-class shuttle (fan design)

For now I did something simple. Another small craft from my concept work based on the Winx Club animated series dedicated to fix mistakes and expand lore of the series. A Cythera-class shuttle.

Shuttle is a small craft designed to carry passengers, although it is able to transport limited cargo (typically passengers' baggage). Cythera-class is an old ship, first variations of it were produced by Eraklyon shipyards around early 20th century. The ship proved to be non-expensive, easy in maintenance and modification, versatile and durable, and new modifications were released to keep the ship line up-to-date, used by companies and individual pilots all across the Magic Dimension (consider this ship as a counterpart of terran Mi-8 helicopter). The shuttle you see in the render is the most modern modification designated 55-KP used in Eraklyonian military as a troop transport with limited dogfight capability.

Cythera-class shuttle essentially replaces Eraklyonian ship from the Winx Club animated series. Cythera-class is more sleek, features large engine pylons at the back, front lights and weapon ports. Its grey color, orange stripe, lift engines, window positioning, some hull detailing and flipping door all bear resemblence to the original Eraklyonian ship (especially 'The Secret of the Lost Kingdom' version). There are 8 engines on the Cythera-class - 4 lifting, 4 main engines. Main door is on the right side and is marked with two vertical rows of hull lights. Its main weapons are 4 blaster cannons mounted in front and rear sections. There is long cargo pad stretching from the rear of the interior up to the middle of the ship. It uses its own gravity field to hold cargo in place even when the shuttle is heavily rolling in the planet's atmosphere.

As sources of inspiration I took a bit from Type 6 shuttle from Star Trek and from some ship seen in the Rebel moon trailer.
