I like it a lot! Dig her hairdo, but the glasses seem somehow generic.. Also like the loose, sketchy style you went for. Supports the dynamic pose, and makes her look agile.
Show us the vehicle

simple yet dead on...man i really like this one. nice style, really pops off the page, and yet....so simple. really cool character man. post more please.

to be really picky...her left arm(bicep area) looks like it needs a little shoulder to arm definition. man...i'm just being picky...don't listen to me:chug:

i have to agree, there is some sweet energy flowing thru both these pics. butmaybe the goggels (sp?) are "generic" it dosent seem to stop anybody else from using them, and they certainly tell a bit about who she is....

i think i like the first better than the second. it seems to say that she stands apart from her society, but i could be way off.

the tatoos around her eyes, are a nice touch, but maybe you could make them a bit more defined becasue in the top pic at first i thought they were irises.....

i love it.....id love to see more

**Sketch** · March 18th, 2004, 06:28 PM

**CleptoCat** · March 18th, 2004, 06:40 PM

looseness = Coolness. Nice

**Loga4** · March 18th, 2004, 06:56 PM

Great jop!

**_dan_** · March 21st, 2004, 07:34 AM

thanx again for all comments, this is a nother sketch for the project. its an old idea that im reusing for this project - the transatlantic train. the first concept was going on a monorail ubove water but this is a subway connecting the underground citys, London - NY 15min.

the girl is going to race the subway tunnels trying to fin her way out from this world......

**Raul-Reznek** · March 21st, 2004, 07:54 AM

really pro renders

**Swoop** · March 21st, 2004, 08:00 AM

Love the inviroment, but i dont get the "train" feeling about it.. looks more like some underground passage with some buildingi n the middle there.
Perhaps it's just me.. but anyways i think it looks pretty awsome

**young paddy1** · March 21st, 2004, 08:42 AM

really great stuff I spotted one of your earlier sketches for the character on your site, I love the second trike, but I also prefer the monorails on your site to the one you have shown here they are super slick.

**Atmospheria** · March 21st, 2004, 07:15 PM

i liked your style...show us more...

**jetpack42** · March 22nd, 2004, 04:21 AM

**Nadim** · March 22nd, 2004, 08:05 AM

Dig this style - thank you for posting - more ..more

**Scubasteve** · March 22nd, 2004, 12:48 PM

I love that second bike. Off the hook designs bro. That character is quite cool. Nice rendering. Kudos!

**_dan_** · March 26th, 2004, 09:11 AM

here is some render tests, im probably going for a kind of monocrome color sheme exept for the girl. havent desided if she is going to be cell shaded or regular shade.....

**chukw** · March 26th, 2004, 11:24 AM

Impressive stuff, Mr. Multi-talented! My only caveat would be to stay away from the diagrammatic side-view presentation. Very useful for model builders, but very flat for concept presentation.
