It crawls through the fax.

Ross come on man, dont leave me hanging, im dying to know what will become of that train! I dont hundreds of sheets of work using that train but i cant show any of it forever. downer.
KFW youll love it i promise, Iaim M Banks is a smart writer, hes full of fun, but at the heart of his stories is a cold hard core of steel logic. its wicked!
LS well, i thought the time machine seemed kind of hard to move around, and if i was a victorian engineer id maybe mount it on a studebaker electric car chassis to make it easier to move about.. I love the Rod Taylor movie, but the machine looks like a fancy fairground ride, not a piece of scientific equipment. do love that movie tho. Oh and thanks! Gulp. I cant wait to meet you in person tho, gonna be loads of fun Ill warrent.
Anthony haha thankyo brotha!

more City of Gold and Lead, wip from the stories by John Christopher

i am so sorry i dropped a little drool on that last post it was just so awesome man! really digging the composition! how much time did those take you if i may ask? please keep this streak of awesomness going good sir!

[Velocity Kendall]

Haha really?? thankyou!! Well i watched 5 episodes of breaking bad so about 5 hours i guess. pretty slow, but for my own fun time stuff i like taking my time, doing a bit then sitting back and having a smoke and trying to figurte out what the hell im doing!

i think thisll do on this one


heres a demo from class, cars/toy cars, showing how to quickly flesh out thumb sketches into sketch renders and simple 3d models to work over.

[PNate]

Ahh so gooood. Also great to see I'm not the only one who measures time by breaking bad episodes

[Mikko Voipio]

You've come a long way since I've last seen your work. Especially the car drawings/paintings are looking mighty fine!

[Mr. Corlan]

Ahhh, Shoot. Busted! Haha. Yessir, I'll get right on that, just as soon as I finish up a commission (which involves a train, coincidentally). Yeah, this NDA junk is so stupid. It makes me angry. It's so pointless most of the time. I mean, forever?! That's ridiculous!

Good stuff lately as always. Love those city paintings, especially the second two versions. And those cars are neat too, sounds like I should take your class.

[Velocity Kendall]

man that would be sweet. if you can oversee my learning to paint ill totally hook you up with ID and cars and such.

yeah the NDA thing hurts, theyre always so paranoid someone is going to steal their idea before theyre ready to launch. whatyagonnado.

Mikko thank you very much sir, thats very encouraging to hear; its sometimes hard to know if one is makign progress, as it always seems difficult. im very glad my studies are starting to show.

PNate haha we are legion! the best show on telly that ive seen in years. consistently exciting, crazy, painfully realistic at times, and shot with real flare. helluva show. it might actually be closing in on sopranos as my favourite ever....

holiday resort stuff; not sure if i posted this or not a while back.. these people never have proper designs so make me design their stuff, villas, etc. sadly as ive no idea what im doing and they rarely have proper plans or anything, and when they do have plans its a total monstrosity, it usually looks a bit wierd. (normally they wont have paid their architects so the architects wont give them the plans).

so their art direction will be "make us a villa, heres some biro drawings by a blind idiot, oh and it needs these wooden slats all round the outside" and im like, erm ok...and make up the rest of the top of me head hehe

..on the other hand they usually pay very badly are totally disorganised and and lie about money a lot so i dont feel too bad about it. just switch off and watch tv. never work for property developers they are natures worst creatures. they will fuck you about forever and never pay all they owe, and then dissappear with all their investors money. total cunts.

Hi mate

Those are simply lovely, nothing more needs to be said!

I am missing the sun too stuck up here in the Frozen wastes of Lancashire!

all the best my mate.

[Mussy]

love the 3d stuff, ur paintings are really good too.. especially those car ones. good stuff keep it up! u have nice ambience in ur work.

[Dile_]

Sorry to hear about your experience with certain clients, but these are really great! I'm liking your speedpaints more and more, just watch your ellipses : ]

[kingkostas]

Thanks for the insight mate. Crappy client with crappy direction...
Your designs are awesome, i am a total noob in these things so i cant offer any crit.These are inspiring for me. Keep sharing

[Care]

love the whole last page, v nice rendering! thanks for the pics

[NickyBeats]

holy crap velocity! those renderssss mmmmmm sooo tasty!! i think i recall you saying something about welcoming paintovers of your shots, if you wouldnt mind id love the chance to toss some paint on top of some of these beauties!! keep being awesome bud!!

[Charles Ratteray]

gorgeous work man!!!!!! those renders are so sweet!!! pleasure to see..

[giby]

Ur abstract art and mastery of colour is just mind blowing *bows in respect*

[lionheartGFX]

that resort stuff looks pretty awesome man! but in special those class demos of car concepts blew me away! how did you got so crazy good keep the improvement coming sir! cant wait for more updates

[Velocity Kendall]

thanks a lot guys, i read and appreciate everything and it means a lot.
its really late and been a long shift, please let me respond personally tomorrow.

heres an after work doodle of a sort of giant chinook. i liked it in an earlier pic and made a quick model land drew on it. ill use it for something. i was thinking maybe the bit from Roald Dahl's BFG where theyre flying the evil giants into their pen near the end of the story.. or something.

[Zauselbart]

thanks for sharing your awsome pictures

[Yemi775]

wow man, i've never seen this kind of realistic paintings- (the interior designs and all). i dig them, i can't wait for your next update .

[LtPlissken]

It’s going pretty fascinating over here, the backstaged
crowd is feeling euphoric once again. Popcorn and empty
cans all around. Cheering for your good performance. Everyone
saw your new vehicle designs, and I have to say that the look was
deliberating in little Urkel’s eyes. He saw your shiny diamonds amongst
your mushroom collection. That vehicles that you designed, are the futuristic
Mad Max transport representation. Am I right? Mel Gibson is very happy about
the subject. Plus I see that you designed those beautiful rich hotel and living
environments, with pools and fruits on the table. Those are the houses that
Mad Max will acquire when he retires. Fantastic overwhelming adorable
all around performance from your side. Keep on souring up the last
winter’s cucumber pack, and make those sparkling sticks to
sparkle even harder.

[Veshkau]

Gorgeous work as always VK. Thanks for the tip on the property devs aswell, will bare that in mind! Sounds like a nightmare

[Velocity Kendall]

yeah sometimes you need to blow off a bit of steam about them. on the plus side they ahve an infinite amount of shitty work to be done so it does at least have that for it!

thanks a lot chaps! im enjoyng catching up on your SBs

[eclip-se]

Inspiration:

[Mr-Joe]

Did you do the design for the Absolute Vokda commercial or were the paintings you did from the commercial?

[TheGnoll]

nothing useful to say, sorry.
Still gawking at the crazy speedpaintings/concepts from the last page

Your architecture work is super slick, and i love how effortless those car designs/sketches look!
I'd be really curious to see what stuff you're sharing with that class!

[Lightship69]

Loved tose movie trailers, especially the Oblivion one, that looks rather interesting.

anyhow christmas gets really busy in and around my house and so I am making the time now to say "happy christmas my mate and a very happy new year!"

all my best wishes go with you into next year old chap enjoy everything you do and balls to those that dont LOL!!

[krysjez]

VK I'm curious about what stuff like this is: http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j2...ecopy4copy.jpg is it a partial render?

Happy holidays everybody! i hope youve have a really nice christmastime and a relaxing boxing day.

krys that one has no purpose, it was a render i put through a photoshop filter whilst waiting for something else to render.

gnoll, lightship, cant wait to meet you guys in person in may, gonna be dopeness! ill probably do similar stuff at the symposium as in class so itd be my pleasure to show you.

no i wasnt invovled with the vodka advert, it was just conicidence, we both ripped off Syd Meads astonishing painting The Running of the Six DGRXX at the same time!!

Nicky, id love it if you did paintovers, thatd be so cool!

And new movies; lots of interesting pop sci fi coming up; i hope at least one of them is a good! Pacific Rim looks like a very simplified version of Evangelion which has me pretty excited; the robots and monsters look about 1/100000th as cool as the ones in Eva but boy those battles look impressive! Id sure love to work on movies like that one day!

[hücumkedi]

you lovely sir! i missed your awesome ideas and concepts... nice stuff!

[skMOP]

i didnt know you taught at TAD! haha the first time I saw the trailer for Pacific Rim I thought it was so ridiculous. nice 2d stuff man
