Serpent Sword

Some time ago I decided to try my hand at concept art and although I was terrible at it I did manage to come up with some sword concepts that I didn't mind and I thought I would share them here.

Here they are:


I decided that my favourite was the third one so I settled on taking that one and further designing it.

Here is the 'Serpent Sword'


Here I took the original sketch and cleaned it up a little bit, I then made a cleaner black line drawing of it and then tried to paint in some colours and such.


This is where I left it, until recently when someone took it upon themselves to create and awesome textured model of my sword. I was so happy with the outcome and although I wasn't expecting it I loved that someone thought to model my sword.

Vehicle Concepts and Modelling

This is a work in progress on my current college assignment. I have been tasked with creating a new futuristic military vehicle in which form follows function. I have decided to go with a drop ship. I wanted to create something that was at least based on a shark in some way.

Here is the Model so far:

Here I have created a low poly body along with a low poly set of wings. I have added the tail fins and a kind of dorsal fin. I still have a long way to go and a lot of work to do.

EDIT [10/12/2014]:



Here I decided to change a lot of the design so that it made more sense and followed the function more. I think that It looks better anyway.

I made the whole thing longer, moved the thrusters to the ends of the wings and then held the back two in place. I changed the tail end fins so that they fit the new design and actually make sense.

I have changed the front cockpit a fair bit so that it would actually be able to see the ground better.

EDIT [16/12/2014]:


Here I have started on the textures and as you can see I have decided to add a camouflage to the overall body and wings. I have gone with a kind of scratched worn texture for the vehicle because I like the idea that the vehicle has been used before.

Here are some final renders of the finished model:







Not the best I don't think but I'm happy with the outcome for a first try.
