Untitled Kingdom

[Velocity Kendall]

The standard of work here at CAO is amazing; Dallas, El Coro, Darkeyes and a lot of others blow my mind.




































































This was one of a zillion exteriors, but had a creepy menace to it I thought was cool. Like thers blood all over the walls inside or something..

The seagull needs work...

But I'm floored by beauty and detail of your vehicles, and especially the almost photorealistic wristwatch. Architectural illustration and vehicle design must be your specialty. I'd love to see you do some Syd Mead style sci-fi future paintings.

[Velocity Kendall]

That is an apalling sea gull! I have a better version of that image somewhere with less cheesy people, the comms bridge and that poor creature given some more feathers. Syd Mead is a king!

[jdeegz]

these are rad man, have you had the chance to work with jaguar? or was that just something for a portfolio?

[starjari83]

nice rendering1
do you use vector tool alot?

[Mr_Joshua]

so much cool stuff. Thanks for posting.

[Kian]

Great to see some quality industrial design
Which course did you do? Coventry, Swansea? I'm just about to do my final year of Huddersfield's Transport Design course.

5 stars from me mate

[Velocity Kendall]

Hi Kian- Coventry. a couple of years ago. The two guys I work with have a lot of good car stuff Im digging out. Personally I was never much of a car designer- my friends are now in BMW, Morgan, Nissan, LR, Jag, doing stunning work, etc, but I found it a bit repetitive as often its a lot of facelifting of existing cars and doing 50 possible bootlid configurations.
I prefered working on varied things. The downside there is you get a bit of a jack of all trades master of none thing going on, but its more fun I think. Good luck with your final year, its a toughy but youll love it. (I had a look at your site, theres some nice stuff on there; give cars a go and if you dont like it theres loads of other things to do.)

[mugen1]

Im really linking the cars a lot and also the ships. Were some of the ships done in marker? The car designs look great and you can really tell what brand they are from by your styling. Keep up the great work!

[Dallas]

I love it. Especially the catamaran, hydrofoil and metrocabs. Classy.

[Velocity Kendall]

Kian- Had a further look- dude your character work is fantastic, seriously forget cars theyre just products, you should push forward with that stuff its way more fun!

Mugen- Thanks man! Nope its all Photoshop, mores the pity as good marker work does look good. Have a look on Car Design News in the portfolio section for some really nice work which demolishes my stuff.
Id love to be able to show you the things my friends are up to, scarily good.. but hopefully on the road before not too long.

Dallas- Big thanks; you're one of the guys I send to people saying "LOOK at thissss!"
Im a big fan of your supertechnology settings, the sort of stuff that for a long time only Syd Mead seemed to tackle; you know, post-nanotech, post-human and incredibly strange and vibrant.

[orlando omega]

Realy impressive work, great design!

[orionlesc]

amazing.

[orionlesc]

I like specially, the yellow chair.

[Velocity Kendall]

Wow thankyou folks, I honestly didnt know how this stuff would ride here. I like that yellow chair too.

[Nokill]

what the duce... your not going to tell me you design the cars and the watches to go with them in the expencive car magazines where you got more watch adds then cars...

[el coro]

consider me floored. man you are hell of a designer. i want a bunch of this stuff!!!!

i have such huge respect for what guys like you do. ID is a discilpline i always wanted to be able to work in, but i just dont have the chops as a designer to make work like this.

thanks so much for posting these.they are a really great source of inspiration. hope to see more!

[Nokill]

Well if you buy a new car it would be nice to get a fitting watch with it, only I don't wear watches plus I was more aiming for the fact there are to much watch adds in car magazines

Still waiting for GINA if it ever comes ill buy one.
you should do a totally new car concept who knows, wheels are so stone age these days.

[Velocity Kendall]

Guys, im so grateful thank you very much indeed
coro i am in awe of your skills

Nokill: GINA is fantastic man. Its ten years old and they just released it.

[Kian]

Thanks mate. Coventry eh, the top one
Yeah I love characters environments and techstuff. But like you were just talking about movie design there, I'm the exact same. I definitley wanna work on movies. I think the grounding of transport and industrial design courses really help guys like us getting into that area. Stuff like, a fully thought out understanding of what the functions are, and how they combine with the form, yet relative to a story or world. That fascinates me.

[Aidil_Afham]

I really like that bridge over waterfall structure, especially the dynamism of that support column. Seems like youve done everything, what can't you do?

[Deysc]

All of this is just stunning.

[Nokill]

ten years old... damn they took there time then to make the decision to create it.
And those works are some of the greatest out there indeed making pretty drawings and coming up with something totally new are two very different things
So how long have you been in the car concepting bizz?

[Eachi]

good work !!! like your auto design!!!

[Bushido]

Woha you are a machine dude! Amazing designs!

Love this type of stuff! (Post more like this please )
