End of week assignment - Modeling 03

This week our assignment was to model a fantasy/sci-fi vehicle. I decided to model a fantasy vehicle.

My timetable for the week was planned like this:

Monday 14-16: Find inspiration, create a moodboard and draw sketches.
Tuesday 14-17: Design a vehicle on paper and start modeling.
Wednesday 14-18: Model.
Thursday 14-18: Model.

Drawing

This week we drew a lot, which is fun, because I learn more each time!

Our focus this week was on realism, with facial proportions etc.

 

Inspiration, moodboard and sketches

 

Before starting my sketching, I made a moodboard that I felt had the feel I wanted to capture with my model, which is a type of 'Air buccaneer'.

My first sketches, which I didn't like much.

And these are my second sketches, giving more information to what I want it to look like.

Final model

Story

My story with this model is that in this world, the entire planet is covered in water, and all the landmass consists of flying islands. This makes all the vehicles in this world flying. The character using the vehicle I made, is basically an amateur pirate. He comes close to the vehicles he wants to rob, launching his grappling hook to attach his boat to theirs.
