Hi Jason,

Just ask me your question(s) and I will get back to you as soon as I can. I am always busy, and it might take days, but you will get a reply.

Take care.

Thx for the precisions!

You're welcome, Pilou. Bonne journee!

That sci-fi/steampunk submarine I did before needed a hangar.

So here it is. A WIP, it has been over 4 months and I still have not had the time to go back to it, but I will finish it someday.

Hi there,

Here's another tank from my military vehicle concepts.

Thanks for visiting!

Merci, Pilou.

Thanks, Oli. Actually you won't see these models. There were done back in 2009. They got some new designers and a new Art Director on board the next year, and they changed most of everything based on the new directions. I was back to working on Rift at that time.

Here's another personal project in my series of Sci-Fi interiors.

Skp + VrayFS + Photoshop

Have a good day!

Hi there,

More stuff from the game Defiance. They were done a while ago back in 2009.

Have a great day!

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.

**Have a great day!

It certainly looks very organic, like insects.

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.

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