PETROL/BLOOD - Ithoual

Update :





Hi !

I'd like to try a sort of 40's looking pilot on a sort of flying vehicle inspired by the P40 Mustang shapes. I'm still trying to find something that works and won't be to long to produce since there is the character AND the vehicle to make this time. I don't want it to be too spectacular and I'd like to have a sort of " normal " feeling on it.

Still have some work to do on the pilot (helmet etc..) and I'm not sure about the overall shape of the mount but I think I'm on a track for something that could fit what I want!

Feedback welcome and good luck everyone!

I love this. Subbed.

EDIT: To be a bit more constructive, I really like the silhouette of the pilot and that it's rather bottom heavy. I love the color choices you've made there. As far as the vehicles go, I really like what you've come up with in the center (the one that would have the pin-up chick on it). It's an elegant-looking machine that cuts a really nice figure.

Really liking your direction here. Your ship designs are awesome. I think you're definitely hitting that 'normal' feeling you mentioned you were going for. Though normal isn't really normal in the mundane sense but more just meaning grounded, believable, and relate able. Your ships designs are unique but still utilize the shapes that people can identify with 40's aviation and I totally dig that. Looking forward to seeing more on this one. Great start!

those pants are awesome!

As above, Awesome pilot concept!

Gorgeous ideas. I agree about the bottom-heavy pilot. A good reason why he could be bottom heavy could be that the upper body is better protected from the cockpit? Like it's got a more enclosed top half and the bottom part is exposed?

In the retro future pilots are measured by the size of their popped collars.

I really love these designs, i'm with Dash, top right and bottom mid are just awesome. Nothing interrupts the large forms which gives a super sleek feeling.

Thx for feedback!

Kurt Russel Fan Club : Yeah I'd like the vehicle to be light so the pilots get protection with ther outfit. It was the plan to cover only the top of the body but I'm still looking for a good solution about that !

Small update on the Mount ! I still have to add story telling details on it and some parts seems too futurist for what I want. I'd like to have the strong feeling of " petrol " in it.

!! Love it!

Great style!

I find the aircraft design very futuristic and elegant. The shapes, colors, details, the overall feeling is really top notch. Im really going to follow this thread. Best of luck! BTW, which software will you use to model?

Ithoual

Hoy guys! Thx for the comments!

I couldn't work as much as I wanted but I've finally defined what I needed on the character and I think I'm ready to start the 3D production !!

lightbird : I'll use Zbrush and 3DS max I guess ( I dont know anything else anyway ).

Gannon

I'm lovin this entry! Can't wait to see more. I get the feeling we've got A LOT of the same reference.

Really clever concept ! Can't wait to see more now.

Looks like a re-design for F-Zero

I like the interesting flow of the character, and the browns and greens and tans are really doing it for me, looking forward to more.

Small update on the sculpt, I've started some details but I think I'll have to work a little bit longer on the blocking .

Gannon

Looking good! Can't wait to see the rest of it blocked in

OrganizedChaos

I love the design on this guy, great suit, great sense of form. Looks like the sculpt is coming along really well already as well Keep up the awesome!

looprix

Great pilot design he definitely matches his vehicle. Do those leg pads act as bullet armor?
I love how the wings protrude in front of the nose.
The mask is a little generic but maybe that's a good thing for balance.

Bbox85

i like this so much!

audi100

Looks like its coming all together, love how that that gas mask attaches to the suit.

InflatableFriend

I absolutely love this, really can't wait to see it progress!

elGuapo

Great concepts. I really like the aircraft. Looking forward to more updates.

Syros

COOOOOL, subscribed \m/

fearian

amazing design! These concept's are blowing me away!

Moutrave

ui it's really cool

skue352

In your top down view there is a gap for between fuselage and wings. I was just wondering if the wings have a mount or if their is going to be some sort of futuristic wizardry holding them in place. looks fun though.

Ithoual

No it's supposed to be linked by black mechanic parts like F1 weels support. But anyway I think I won't have time to make the vehicle so I deeply modified the overall concept to something faster to do alone : )

EarthQuake

Really like the weight of all that gear on your character. Nice stuff.
