PETROL/BLOOD – mikeParker

My idea for this project is to do a futuristic jousting match, but rather than the use of horses and a lance the competitors are in semi flying vehicles and the use of a mounted cannon to shoot there opponents.

The engine for the vehicles are fixed to a rail system and they pull an aerodynamic aircraft, similar to a pod racer.

Did some research and found some references which will help in the design, next I will start blocking out the vehicle but I would like it to be as aero dynamic as possible, so smooth flowing edges are key to the design.



Because I am doing a jousting theme I would like to use a familiar character type "The Black Knight", so the color scheme will be mostly black and grey, however I would like to include some glowing edges to give it better appeal. Also female character

Great minds think alike!

Tried texture bombing technique in Modo to get some ideas for the pattern on the suit, which gave some interesting results. Gonna start blocking out next with the different parts that I like.

First stages of blocking in the shapes of the suit, using the topo tools to shape out panels on the base mesh and beveling them out to create the panels.

Character update. Just finished blocking out the suit panels, I will move onto refining and adding detail next. I figure I will finish the high poly on the character and then begin blocking out the vehicle once that is complete.

Haven't posted anything in awhile and falling a little bit behind in regards to the final submission. Nearly done with the high poly of the character and started playing around with the color scheme a little. Will start on the vehicle soon hopefully, may have to change my original idea for something more simple.
