Some detailing on the bike, taking some more amazing Neon Rising colours. Almost time to start on the hard parts...

Keeping with my Deathburger inspired palette and trying some more vehicle work with characters. I need to work on my Illustrator skills a bit for work so this will be a fun project.

My inspiration aside from the Neon Rising Artbook is a new monkey lamp we just bought.

Finally finished my Rick and Morty piece, now with added Morty!

Trying to work on some character art to mix in with the model and illustration work. 

I sketched out a simple rig in Photoshop to figure out how one would lean out of the car and with that guide made traced the real character over the top in Illustrator.

Taking a lot of inspiration from the Josan Gonzalez's Neon Rising Art Book I bought last year.  https://ixcitadel.com/products/the-future-is-now_neon-rising Here is a version of the Back the the Future mobile roughly based on BTTF2 with some upgrades!!!
Ideally I am hoping to put this in an alleyway scene and also conquer my fear of drawing characters and have Doc Brown hanging out the window.
I used a base mesh downloaded from the internet, remodelled the wheels and engine section and then exported it as a Vector line image. All of the colouring and detailing is done in Photoshop and Illustrator.

Some more work on my Syd Mead inspired Nasa rover.

After lots if sketching combinations I have finally started to block out a chassis!

I recently discovered that none other than Syd Mead used to work at Volvo Trucks as a consultant, I managed to see some of his sketches and designs from the 70/80's and although a few decades old they would not look out of place in Blade Runner!!

It gave me an idea to design a new scifi truck based on some of his old sketches mixed in with some other ideas.

For the wheels I was heavily inspired by the VEX Mars Rover that Syd also designed for NASA:

I am also taking a lot of inspiration from the fantastic Mike Hill and his hub driven wheel systems: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/aRA29https://www.artstation.com/artwork/vwlmE
