Hey, we need new chess pieces for the CCS chess club. Simple is fine, the plan is to design them, model in alias, rapid print (the cheap powder one) one copy each, then Jon can make molds and they will multiply like babies.
So we'll need 6 pieces designed Pawn King Queen Knight Bishop Rook (castle)
We could do 1 piece per person if everybody's feeling particularly lazy, or 1 set per person. Comment if you're willing to make this happen.
For Roney's Yacht studio. rough model: testing out an extended deck idea. I know the sail doesn't make any sense right now but it's a placeholder kinda.
Soooo... what if we all just keep WDC running by posting random sketches we do.. or give us a quick brief of what it is that your doing in your studio every once in a while.
I think it would be cool to be up-to-date with what you guys are doin.
Quick sketch for MINI's 50th birthday. I've put the motorcycle project on hold while I work on the Local Motors competition, but I'll get back to it in a few days here.
The next character for Escape the City, Tried to take this bike in a different direction, thought it would be cool to try treads, though I dont think it would have much success outside the concept realm yet it was fun and well suited for the character. Cheers.
Well here it is. . My final design rendered in Photoshop. It's an extremely light weight single cylinder, 500cc 2-stroke race bike. It is intended for use on small oval tracks, reminiscent of old school board track racing. While it would come from the factory as a closed course race bike, there would be an optional lighting kit and exhaust to make it street legal.
I was thinking about designing a few characters for a project I wanted to start. I was thinking about calling it "Escape the City." The whole idea is kind of based off an apocalyptic world where racers will be dropped into the middle of major cities that have been in the wake of war or infestation and have them fight each other while trying to make it around and out alive. Its basically like Twisted Metal or Deathrace 3000 but was going to keep it to just bikes. I want to try to design a few different characters and bikes to fit the storyline. Each with nicknames, weapons and their own numbers. Here's the first one, ExoticMangos. I based the bike off of the last pages of sketches I submitted. Hows it all sound? I don't really have a set story down yet or name even so all ideas and suggestions may help.
I found middle ground on a few issues I had and worked out some more side views for what I wanted, and Im getting closer to the look Im going for so far. From here I can focus more on how it works and get some details put into it.
