 Very cool as usual!

 Beautifully done. I supose there not ADA compliant ether. (Ha)

 Impressive. The red car looks kind of small, and it's also a nice car for someone living in a 'shed'.

I included ADA compliance in the design of some of my first concepts, but the Art Director told that we can skip it and have a more simplified design since these buildings are for video games. @adorno said: Impressive. The red car looks kind of small, and it's also a nice car for someone living in a 'shed'.  >> Thank you for your kind words, Adorno. Similar to my answer above, vehicles, props and people are also simplified and smaller than real life proportions. **Hello everyone, It has been a while I have not posted some stuff for Rift. (http://www.riftgame.com/en/) So I dug out some older conceptual models I did. Have a great day!  _KN**     Sketchup for Sci-Fi Art:

 Middle age Lego!

 @unknownuser said: Middle age Lego!  LOL...merci for your comment, Pilou.  Some more Rift conceptual models: This Elven palisade is a set of modular pieces that can be use to create different designs. This was one of my first projects when I started working for Trion world.  Sometimes when I was not assigned to come up with the design, I built conceptual models based on another concept artist's art. The left images in these two following images were done by the lead concept artist. What I did was build the conceptual model and solve problems like perspective, interior section, etc. I also was able to come up with my own designs for parts that were not well thought out.   Thanks for visiting. Have a great week! _KN Sketchup for Sci-Fi Art:

 Hello everyone, Here's a conceptual model that I did for the game Rift more than 3 years ago. This is one of my favorite and most detailed models. It is called Caer Mathos and is located in Mathosia. It is a fortress of some kind of evil knight or something. Due to the change of design directions (new stories) and a new art director, Caer Mathos was unfortunately cancelled. But I really had fun working on it. It took me a couple of days to finish it...J/K  maybe a few weeks. maybe a few weeks.I have some bird's eye renders as well as interior concepts that I will post soon. Cheers! _KN     Sketchup for Sci-Fi Art:

Yes, it does look like a Gothic Church because I was inspired by images of Gothic Church when I designed it. and kind comments.

 @ CoreMaster110: Thanks for your kind "comment, Karl.  Hi guys, I have not posted some Simcity concepts for a while. So here they are. For those who play Simcity, you know you have many options for one building style. As an example, below I have 3 different designs for the "Chicago Style" buildings.    And here is a strip mall.  Have a great weekend! _KN Sketchup for Sci-Fi Art:

 Hi guys, I have posted this one a few months ago, but the image was really low rez due to Non-Disclosure-Agreement when Simcity was not shipped yet. So here's a larger size. Have a great day!    _KN

 Hello everyone, I hope you had a great weekend. I forgot to mention that I have started another contract with Electronic Arts/Maxis, the people behind Simcity. Indeed, a few weeks ago I got an email from the Development Director with whom I worked on Simcity 5, who said they needed my help with concepting architecture for their next project and offered the job. It is an unannounced game, and due to Non-Disclosure-Agreement, I cannot say anything yet. But I have been working on it for the past two weeks and I am quite excited about it. I hope to show some Sketchup models/Renders in the near future. _KN

 Sounds exciting. Looking forward to it.
