Cannon

Moodboard.
Good feeling about this project. Probally do a good 3D model in maya for this.
 
 
Some basic shapes put together and random line can go a long way when designing your initial ideas i think.
 
 
I had a top three but this one came out the most i think. Its simple but edgy.

 
Final image done in maya. Simple daylight lighting and the tripod area of the cannon had to be finished quickly as i was running out of time.



 
 
Final colour overlay. its a very large machine so didnt think it needed camo or anything so i thought i bright white and orange would give a big come at me look.
 
 
 
Few more adjustments. Dirt and scratches are added but most important plating definition is added. Dont know why the images are being stretched.

Alien Plants

 
Basically thinking of plants that dont just get there food from sunlight and water but aslo from actual living creatures like insect. An example would be the fly trap plant. but i didnt want to make a plant that could walk around or anything. So i thought the planet would be dominated by giant lakes so you get these giant floating plants that are like ice bergs. small at the top but large at the bottom. some of these plants literally trap giant fish and store them for food as they slowly die.

 
Colour test.
 
 
Final
 
 
ABSOLUTELY HATE mudbox. Or any 'sculpting' programs. Much rather use my hands to create a clay model. this is my attempt anyway. think of more underwater flowers and leaves at the top and more berrys. there is no duplicate tool in mudbox so.
