Crankshaft's Sketchbook

Some design sketches. The goal here is problem solving and brain storming/exploring new shapes.

I realized there were shapes that could not physically exist with my trailer. Took forever to realize what was wrong. Double checking to make sure it could open without hitting anything was a nightmare.



Break thru of the hinge.


Epic Rilakkuma drawing by my sister. This would blow everyone out of the water on Artstation.


Motorcycle wip. Silly fun!

Wow, that's a lot of work there that you're juggling with, crank. I don't know how you keep track of it all.
And yes, my favourite is still that cuddly toy. That soft texture is really well done.

Thanks Val! Your encouragement has definitely been a big part of it!

Now we can't let this post pass by without liking that pic by your sister! Those cheeks are wonderful and that bite-mark has some proper 3d dimension to it. Give her a thumbs-up from me!

Oh, and your work is good too.

Thanks Val! Will do!

Updates. Doesn't look like much but I've been mainly preparing things in the bg ie cleaning up my topology and learning how to make better geometry.

Anatomy.

Updates. Same as before, mainly did stuff in the background ie clean up mesh. Nothing pretty to show, just in between stuff. Having loads of fun modelling, I feel like I'm building a product instead of just making a picture. Going to flesh out the entire vehicle, even under the body. So much for a small project

That's taking shape nicely with all the details.

These development wips always look like you're taking a real vehicle apart to see how it works before putting it back together in a better way.
