I find this very believable, Not too far from what the original tanks looked like before strengths and weakness were worked out. Had things gone slightly differently I could see this being built in the late 1800's. I myself would not build a flame gout on a wooden vehicle, but again they did build so big mistakes back at the beginning.
Looks Cool too!

It looks a lot like a locomotive, but I think making it out of wood makes it far more interesting. It's more primitive and I think it's too easy to make a boring juggernaut with an over sized metal box.

Awesome! The landship rendition you've made is both effective and plausible-feeling. It's just whimsical enough to be fun without looking impossible.

It's a little known sub-meaning of the word, but "whimsy" can also mean "magical girls who fly around without skirts".

Aw yeah I like this angle XD maximizes how scary it looks! But geez you sure know how to go nuts with the details! The size comparison with the person just makes it more intimidating, however I do find the door cute looking :I

Yeah I actually like the low angle more, since we get it from a more human perspective. But it makes me want to see what the top of the steam wagon looks like XP
Cute doors next to cute windows foreverrr

Don't forget to add a bow! The door is begging for a pretty yellow ribbon or something :3

Also people need to confuse it for a tasty food item.

Damn your tidy work is nice, the attention to detail is well thought out too.
They spent their money well on you!

That's awesome. Is the sketch above done entirely by hand or did you use SketckUp to help get the perspective and then build on top of that? Or was SketchUp used to create the base for the rendering of the vehicle? I'm curious to know more about the process of doing design work like this.

I'm going to have to play with SketchUp some more and learn it better. Everytime I want to do 3D, I noodle with it in Blender, but there's just too many buttons and hotkeys to really be focused and SketchUp seems to just let you focus on work. Thanks for explaining your process on that drawing. I always like to hear how people work. BTW, when you do backgrounds, do you usually test out compositions in Sketchup or just with quick thumbnails? Or both?

47ness In reply to AlbinoGrimby [2012-10-05 23:08:39 +0000 UTC]
Both. I like to start with thumbnails to keep things fresh. I might doodle in a more objective, overhead shot of the setting so I'll have a main point of reference when modeling.
Once I have the model, I can really start to nail a good comp. (plus have backup comps, in case anything stands out) Here's a couple examples:
interior BG process
exterior BG process

I remember that second process picture. I fav'ed it a while back with some intention of going back to look at it again, but then I got busy on another project at home. Thanks for the links.

Cool steam wagon dude
So what dose it do?

This particular model is designed to safely transport troops and civilians through hostile territory. Sometimes the rails can be used to ferry additional passengers (who obviously couldn't afford a first-class ticket, haha)
