Some after work colour experiment.
In my first weeks at Volvo Product Design I found myself in a meeting room staring at some pictures on the wall. A colleague asked 'Can you guess who drew those?', I replied that although it could not be the case they looked like something Syd Mead would have draw.
It turns out that indeed Syd Mead did draw them and at one time used to work as a designer in the company. After asking for quite some time I finally got permission to share them outside.
Starting here with one of my favourites, I always have a soft spot for asymmetrical design. I am hoping at some point to have some free time to model and print these out!
While out shopping today I stumbled across a book signing by none other than Simon Stålenhag. He has been a big inspiration to me for all manner of flying vehicles, especially since I moved to Sweden.
Everybody who has taken one look at my Art Station page knows how much I love space and I was lucky enough for my last project of 2018 to design the paint scheme for a series of special 'Space Edition' Volvo truck (with the help of my colleagues untangling my Vector artwork).
Volvo is celebrating 10 years in Kaluga the home of Sputnik and one of the birthplaces of spacetravel so I thought it was fitting to have it on the side!
You can read about it here in Russian! https://lnkd.in/geZqFku
I dont have permission to show any 3D renders, illustrations or key art but I hope to get that soon. In the meantime here are some press shots. I am very proud of this one, not only was it the first vehicle I ever painted its also SPACE!
I have started a new illustration project by kit-bashing some of my older models. Although I thought I had read the entitreity of Project Rho it seems I had somehow missed out the Mars Umbrella ship concept!
It got brought to my attention by the great work that Lucas Green has been doing with his concept art releases for Synthesis. asenseofwonder.artstation.com
