Man ive been workin on a gazillion pics simultaniousely this last month. Here are a couple of em. BEHOLD! Dont be shy on critting these. Ill weep and cry but it'll make me strongeRRRr!

I cheated and used 3d for the wheels on the buggy btw. Quite genious. I hate drawing wheels.. In fact, I believe that to be the one reason why people dont draw much vehicles. Simply since drawing wheels is such a bore! So thats a fine tip from me. Cheat!

Proud to say ive been walking outside of my comfort zone on the colors.

Hit me hard.

GREAT ONES !

last one has contrast issues, the tires are the focus, while i think the buggy itself is worth more attentiopn cus it's a sweet design!

cheers brother and keep at it !

Yeah cool design on everything, nothing to crit.. Good job!

Respect! If I was to try to sound like an art critic...then I would say something like this......I really like the design of these objects, you have succesfully adapted the visual style and language of industrially manufactured construction equipment. Creating vehicles/aircrafts that effectively communiates their power, precision engineering and technological superiority. =)

also it feels a little bit SF retro, aliens 2, syd mead...which of course isn't anything negative...but its 02:20..so I might be a little bit lost :o

about the renderings...Good relaxed visual style, very comfortable too look at. But I have to agree with Hurricane about the buggy.
The wheels are visually dominant, they are large, much darker and more detailed than the rest of the buggy.

Kepp up the good work!!

Love them all. My only crit, at first glance, the plane seemed to be twisted a bit... I tried to see what I could do to make it straight, and kept going. Made a few adjustments to the front-top fin on the other side (lightened it because it's facing up and moved it forward to try to correct the twist). I changed a few other things too, then added a purple tint to the shadows and upped the contrast a bit overall. I'm not sure if I'm supposed to alter your work, so please let me know if I broke a rule by doing so... If I did, I won't again. I just tried explaining via text and it wasn't doing good enough. Anyway... this is my opinion of some changes you could make to improve the image. Hope it helps even slightly. Thanks for lettin me play w/ your plane!

Thanks guys! means allot

Hurri: You spotted it. I'll fix it as soon as time permits - I swear.

SF: Yeah man I love syd mead. cool if you can see a resemblence somehow!

davinci: I like what you did to the colors, but I honestly perfer my own perspective versions. Follow my perspective lines and youll see its quite correct. Thanks for taking your time tho, and as I said I liked the colors

thanks again /t

Hey Theo,

Like I told you before, I like the 'Halo' look of your vehicles. You should be on a plane to New Zealand. ; )

Thanks for sharing!

You waking me up from my slumber with a message on ICQ, I should be bitter like an old lady. But then I saw these and got in a better mood.

I saw two of them except the plane before. They all rock. Next time, you show me how you do your magic with the colors. I'll show you my... err... magic... thing.

Gotta run, should be in somebodys bed right now.
