I'm going to use this thread to post odd bits and pieces of work that I may or may not abandon after a while.
I want to create a street scene in the approximate style of Tekkonkinkreet and the Street Fighter 4 games, Something very bright, brash etc, set in an indeterminate part of east Asia. I have reference photos for a number of interesting buildings and vehicles and I think they might look quite good put together.
This is what I've made so far:
The camera angle is going to be front on in the style of a SF scene. The 'Taiwan' part of this is pretty approximate: the two main buildings are in Taipei and Tainan respectively, but the other stuff is referenced from Armenia and Malaysia.
In the foreground I'm going to model the old Soviet bus and tow-truck, which I'm quite looking forward to.
For the next step I'm going to do paintover, because it all looks a bit empty at the moment.
This is a general reference sheet for the style I want to achieve.
