        Lovin' your work Ken πŸ˜„

        Especially the giant, sculptural machines a few posts above.

        Some of your more orgainc stuff reminds me of Sparth's paintings - http://sparth.tumblr.com/

        Was wondering if he was an influence πŸ˜„ Either way, awesome work - I always check out your threads first when I visit this site.

          Thank you for your compliments, Andy. Yes, I know Sparth's concepts. Very inspiring.

          Here are some more conceptual models of alien stuff from Defiance game.

                  Love following your work here. It's great you share them with us!
                  These last ones lead me to ask have you experimented with structures that grow semi-organically or fractal-like like space stations or Paolo Soleri concepts?

                    **>> Thanks for your kind comments. Since you ask the question, I'd thought I post some more of my personal projects/sci-fi environments during the in-between job period. I hope this will satisfy your question about fractal. πŸ˜‰

                    This is one of my favorite sci-fi models. Lots of details and challenges.**

                                Hi there,

                                Here's a view from below of that Alien interior environment posted above.

                                This one is a raw render with no postwork and paintover yet.

                                Take care,

                                    Here's a futuristic helicopter I did some months ago. I think it's one of my favorite vehicle models.

                                        **>> Bonjour Pilou. I am mainly using TIG's set of extrusion tools (Extrude Edges by Rails, etc.). I have been using the Create Mesh from Tgi3D for lots of my organic models lately. I do have Artisan. It is a great plugin, but I somehow don't have the chance to use it a lot.

                                        Have a great day!
