The still life is looking pretty good to my eyes, even in its current state it still looks very realistic at first glance.
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.

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.

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

Keep busy with all that good work. :)

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

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.
