Replaying New Vegas and thinking about one of the big inspirations for the Sierra Madre, the vanished Agua Caliente Hotel and Casino. The architecture of Wayne McAllister is a good touchstone for getting a feel for a certain postwar vibe: https://t.co/3s7dh7NSr0
Sheperd Paine was a huge artistic influence growing up but I wouldn't have though of him as such at the time
Still want to build out a slice of Titan City someday. Cross the 1980 Flash Gordon movie with Bioshock for some streamline moderne sci fi sleaze
Valuable image for thinking about how vehicles can 'grow' or change. Field expedient version: https://t.co/3E8TIjyEWF
A few more iterations of applied building details for GALAHAD 3093
Probably the murderboat from way back when https://t.co/mhTbEFJauO
Not sure I ever showed these. Production concepts for a private client from a couple years ago. A lot of specific detail but with minimal finish. Kind of the opposite of illustration work. I find advice for one can often be contraindicated for the other
Way back when, I was working on a setting that was inspired by art deco (or more properly, streamline moderne).
Sketching some weird gun shapes
An early (2007) freelance commission I did that still holds a place in my heart. Rather than being a spacecraft, the Sky Destroyer (AKA Murderboat) is a flying antigravity vessel.
I like cutaways. Looking back I realize I've done more than I remembered.
The VTOL machines from Megazone 23 Part II left a lasting impression on me, particularly the Uhu. I'm sure there are ways to incorporate a ducted fan and not have it look like an Orca. There's a tension between a good functional read and viz. interest. Something to explore later!
