In the Style of Syd Mead by Agell

Curare · 10-09-2010, 09:11 PM

Hello,

This is my first post in the forum, consist in the three images ive submited for NVArt challenge this year, the theme: ACCELERATE, images of future Transport: In the Style of Syd Mead. a vision of futuristic vehicles in the style ( both design and illustration ) of Syd Mead , one of the most awarded and talented futuristic designers and ilustration artist in the world ( known for his work in TRON, Blade Runner, 2010 and more) .

The first two images were intended to be oposite concepts, one is day image, the other is a night one. The first is a terrain vehicle , the other is aerial one. one is based in mundandane and advertising-like Meads vision and the other is based in Meads Spatial images ( this one also features a custodied young syd mead waiting to take the gyrocopter ). finally ive decided to use the two render engines I use, the first is rendered with VrayforC4D and the second using the AR3 internal engine of C4D.

The third image is a quite simple one that ive decided to enter in the last day of the contest, a Zepelin concept were a plasma bean inside the vehicle both powers the back engine and heats the air to let it float.

I hope you'll like it as much as I did creating the images

cheers,

Carlos Agell

Amazing work! I like the second one best. Welcome to the forum, a great start btw!

Just curious how you ride the first one. Do you lean on top of the wheel with your knees and feet on the rests? No wait, it's not a knee rest but a step to get to the top.
Excuse my monologue!

Second one is my fav too but I'd just say it's a tad too bright for a night scene.

Really amazing work you have done here. I am also curious about where would driver sit in the first one. I noticed the wheel looked like it could move without shifting around the frame.

Thx guys for the comments and for the welcome! The second one is my favorite two

. About how to ride the GyroBike, i guess is as difficult as it was with the first old bikes ( known as "Penny-farthing" ) in which the design of the vehicle is based on ( the only difference is that the gyro bike can keep it vertical and stable thanks to its gyroscopic engine) . I have another approach to this theme in this design:

The idea for the look of the pilot was to aim for a retro 70's style similar to the one used by Syd Mead in his works, I know its not everyone's cup of tea

, thanks for comment!

cheers,

Carlos
