Crankshaft's Sketchbook

Quick updates. Designing everything from scratch is really taxing and brain frying. Need to better understanding where to stage lighting bc some renders are just awful.

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.

Thanks so much Val! Unfortunately it's really hard and taxing. There's so much going behind the scenes . Really wish there were more hard surface artists learning out there.

Updates. More in between stuff. Spent most of my time solving difficult design and function problems. Ie I got the windshield all wrong, it's supposed to tuck under the hood a bit. I would of never learned that stuff if I just did studies all day long.

Also planning on building a simple suspension for the warthog. Some of the many design sketches. Would love to go into detail but I gotta keep things balanced.

Updates. Everything else is too messy to show.

Hey, there's nothing wrong with messy! I know far too much about "messy".

And there's nothing wrong with these pics either.

Finished my bike! Quite happy with the results! (which took forever to render) I can't believe I even did these. This project was crazy hard at first but I'm glad I stuck with it bc I now have a skill that will pay itself many times over.

Where it all started.



Also I visited a museum and umm looked at giant steam trains and more machines Here's a triple expansion steam engine used to power a lighthouse.



I don't like drawing people.
