Hybrid of the Future: DropLT

Another futuristic project from my Sketching class. This time I had to come up with a hybrid vehicle that could run on anything believable: sunlight, electricity, though I ended up with a water-based hybrid car. I'm particularly proud of the name.

My Thought Process:
Lots of Thumbnails (Marker)



Best Thumbnails

Car Concept Roughs (Prismacolor Pencil)
 


Final Sketch (Prismacolor Pencil)

Another area I was unfamiliar with; vehicles. But like the rifle before it, I found this as a fun challenge and it was interesting to see what I could think up when prompted to step out of my comfort zone.

Futuristic Rifle: The Junkyard

This is a weapon assignment from my class 'Sketching for Animators and Illustrators'. It had to be a futuristic rifle. I went ahead and let my imagination run wild. Final version was drawn on paper, scanned, inked in Illustrator then painted/textured in Photoshop.

The Junkyard.
 A space marine crash lands on a planet inhabited by an aggressive alien species and in order to survive he has to take apart his ship and craft a gun from the spare parts. 

My Thought Process:
1st Generation Thumbnails (Sharpie)

1st Generation Roughs (Pencil and marker)

2nd Generation Thumbnails (Photoshop)

Final Ink and Silhouette (Illustrator)

As someone who isn't too fond of guns (I'm more of the hand-to-hand weapons type) I'm actually pretty proud of how this came out. :3
