Hi all. Thought it was time to create a blog in addition to my current Drawthrough website.
I will post my quick sketches here, both book related and misc. Enjoy.

Ship thumbnails for BLAST
I had to add an image after going for three in a row with only text.
These little guys are for the book BLAST I'm working on with Annis and Danny.
Me too, but alas no extra time to do so. No specific fish inspiration. I started with the idea of doing a little ship based on a sphere and then squeezed it a bit. The end results after adding some control surfaces are definitely fish-like.
Well they turned out really great. I like how they have a certain personality to them, like they aren't just ships, but almost characters. Maybe I'll give a quick go at modeling one in Modo. ;)
That would be very cool and if you can get the model done soon and it looks good I could do up some renders of it in modo and include them in the book with you credited as the modeler.
these look really fresh scott!
ReplyDeleteLove em all.
Thanks. I hope to get back to some more traditional sketching like these soon.
ReplyDeleteWow those have really nice sort of toyish quality to them, really original !
ReplyDeleteThanks, that was the goal.
ReplyDeleteLooks so cool!

The problem with your designs is....... I want to create every single on of them in 3D!
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing these were inspired by fish? They all a very aquatic feel to them.
ReplyDeleteCarolyn,
ReplyDeleteBen,
Thanks.

That would be amazing. I'll take a stab at it and we'll go from there. Do you have a publicly available email I could email you at?
ReplyDeleteAndy,
ReplyDeleteCool, use: scott@drawthrough.com
Hey! Loving your designs! Do you think I could take a shot at modeling one of these? =D
ReplyDeleteJorge,
ReplyDeleteSure go ahead.
Please send me a jpeg of the model when you get it far enough along. scott@drawthrough.com
I surely will, Scott! Thank you so much! Do you have this in a bigger resolution?
ReplyDeleteOh, and Scott, can you tell me which of these is Andy modelling? Maybe it would be more interesting for all of us if I modeled a different one! :)
ReplyDeleteHey,
ReplyDeleteHere's the image I made with one of your podships, on deviantART: http://thesphinx.deviantart.com/art/BLAST-296905968
Thank you
