End of a Year

Although there hasn't been much productivity since Uni ended for the year, there are the best of what was in my folio that i submitted. These are more or less in the order that I drew them.

Shiny Cube!
First full attempt at rendering shiny coloured objects.

Camaro
This one was purely a render job. The underlay was not my own work.

Chrome Camaro
Same as above.

Padlock
Chrome tube rendering practice. Thought it might out some key scratches on the body of the lock just for fun. I've not got the curve on the embossed rectangle right, but i'll live with it.

Hand Mixer
Redesigned hand mixer. Entirely my own. This one is my favorite in terms of side profile drawings.

Dust Buster
Drawn from a set of elevation views that were provided to me. Favorite perspective drawing.


Hot Glue Gun
Side profile from an existing design. the base of colour was done with pastel and lighter fuel. Fun times.

Bug Robot
I had a lot of fun with this one. really wanted to make the weapon thing look a little more like it was glowing. It could probably use a rear angle view to explain the shape further.
