You should make an effort to get the "Sony" text right. Accurate logos make a big difference to the final polish of an image and if they're a bit off then it can make you think that other parts of the image are off too.

Your 3D work is coming along well too. Perhaps you should try modelling anatomy in 3D. The extra dimension could help you understand your drawings a bit more and give you the confidence to stop seeing them as failures.

Thanks Val! I took your advice about the sony logo and it looks much better! I'm also signing for a mentorship to attack that anatomy. Super scared. Prepare for massive fail.

More updates! Busy busy. I'll post some of the mentorship stuff after it gets critiqued. It's really hard stuff.

Visual library studies from my Thai interiors book.

Anatomy studies. Organics are scary.





Finally installed a mock up of the tank plow.











Vr tank headset. Installed a rear dial for visor control.

Some behind the scenes thumbs behind the tank and headset. The goal here was design. For the plow I had to be careful not to make the plows too thick or else the struts/shocks wouldn't be able to handle the excess weight.

Busy busy. Some more presentable stuff from the mentorship. It's being critiqued this afternoon. Going to take everyone's advice...I think these are improving????? (was about to say fail)





Visual library studies. Chartered accountant's hall in London.





Goldsmith's hall from London.

That's some complex architecture there, crank.
All those arches are terrifying! Well Done for not giving up before you started.

Keep busy with all that good work.

PS. And have an extra thank you as a result of me inadvertantly clicking the wrong button!

More updates. More visual library/draftsmanship studies. Will post anatomy studies soon, it's just soo messy atm.

WW2 Mitsubishi Zero plane. One of the most successful planes in ww2.





1908 Ford Model T. Can you spot the easter egg?






1959 Fiat 600 Mulitpla .

Some quick comps for the tank and headset. I want these to look like actual concept art, a set of instructions for others to work off rather than pretty pictures.
