Death Derby

My latest game. I was senior artist responsible for cars. Luckily Tom and myself got to work on this one. Awesomest cover yet and well done Sidhe!

Concept Design Workshop with Scott Spencer day 2

Another awesome day full of listening and watching, totally sold on this painting technique!

Concept Design Workshop with Scott Spencer

Awesome day 1, spent the last 4 hrs on this one. Seems obvious I need to spend more time on bodies and muscles. Have embraced the "clay tubes brush".

Moving on, I've more or less finalised the "existing" features of the car:

• Halved the poly count on the wheels without a noticeable drop in resolution. 
• Finished the diff and prop-shaft. 
• Dashboard complete, the footwell area still needs work, but I'm losing the will to live.
• The Gearbox saw a few tweeks
• Installed a steering control arm.
• Rear light got an eyebrow
• Suspension all tied in, missing are the dampeners, 4 of them. Can I be bothered, do you care?

I'm about to add another section to the blogg that deals specifically with low-res art. Sigh... I mean YEAH get into that!

I decided that the interior detail was kinda lacking so I hung some doors. also I balanced the symmetry a little by flipping the exhaust over to the right, which is probably correct for a Model A banger anyhow.

Built the seat, rollbar and mounting bracket for the buggy springs. At this point it's 'form-complete' but still a long way from finished, all the little details, brackets etc, I have to work in.

A few months old now but I had a play with zbrush, spheres, push, pull, sculpt.

Hopefully I can get back to sculpting again after the rod is finished.
