vehicle design: final project

vehicle design: final project!!! woohooo!!

money shot of munitions transport unit concept nicknamed 'buddy'. i couldn't really decide on how to present it; just as a painting? or sort of in the showcase car fashion? or using an interesting border to keep it simple? either way, here it is and we'll see which one he chooses at the final class :D







for a first go at learning some serious vehicle design, i'm quite happy with this as well as how much I actually came to enjoy designing cars! i even boosted how much i knew about storytelling quite a lot with this assignment which is always a plus :D

chitters



some more creature designs, this time for the dark/scary/gross version of Earth. Pretty blue sky with the exception that nothing could be super cute or anything and it was actually a lot of fun! here are my chosen sketches taken to a grayscale drawing after fixing and changing things as per instructor Jerad Marantz's instructions. thanks for looking!

the humanoid:


the herbivore:


the carnivore (which i really want to take to final stage):

more midterrrrms: creature and environment design

2 more midterms done! woohooo!

the color version of my creature design, which i'm pretty happy with, specially since it's only my second attempt at designing aminals:



and the touched up version of my grayscale environment, trying to fix issues with scale and values:



i'm not the most happy with this environment, but it was definitely a big milestone for me in terms of learning what NOT to do. i'm personally not even compelled by this, so i'll have to remember to think of just a bit more story sometime and figure out my focal point better.

*fingers crossed* that i get acceptable grades for them though!

veeeeeeeeehic-ups

my past 2 submissions for my vehicle design class. for a first attempt at actually trying to draw transportation devices, i'm pretty happy with myself :) can't wait to take some of these further!













it's actually also been a really nice way to learn how to design shapes better! even the smallest exercise of just drawing shapes in my sketchbook that resulted from this class so far is really simple but soothing ^_^ onwards!
