        Hello everyone,

        For those of you who remember, I did a sci-fi battleship inspired by Eve Online game back in late 2009.

        If you have not seen the WIP to the final model or like to take a look again, please scroll up this thread. I have also attached images of the final model below...a walk down memory lane. πŸ˜‰

        Anyway, I decided to use that spaceship in one of my illustrations done in October 2013. Instead of having it horizontally, I had it standing vertically.

        SketchUp + Lumion3D + Photoshop

        Thanks for visiting and have a wonderful weekend!

                I remember the first time I saw it as well. I was very disheartened thinking I may never be that good. πŸ˜† A few years later I was able to make my colony ship.

                      Hi there,

                      Long time no post. Got really busy with work. Our game ChronoBlade is coming out soon in the Asian mobile market. I will post some concepts in the near future. Stay tuned.

                      Here's a personal project called The Last of Them.

                      SketchUp + Lumion3d + Photoshop

                      Cheers!

                                  Lovely modelling as usual Ken. And great designs of course. Looks like that was a really fun project to work on.

                                    Thanks for your kind words, Andy. Yes, it was a blast working on that project.

                                    When the game shipped, Activision gave me (and all the employees working on Skylanders Trap Team) a box filled with the game and a few extra figurines. My daughter and I have been playing it and Karoline is loving it. It's quite an experience to see your own concepts coming to life in 3D. It's kind of like when I was in architecture, it was great to walk into the buildings that I designed on paper (or SketchUp and Autocad). πŸ˜‰

                                    Have a wonderful Labor Day weekend!

                                      Great to see this Ken. I wonder how the simple block shapes in SU become carved sculpture in the rendering. Cool work!

                                        Hi Peter, some of the shapes are geos and others are just textures done in Photoshop.

                                        Hello everyone,

                                        Here's something quite different from what I used to do (e.g. environments and vehicles). These are concepts for guns similar to the ones you would see in movies of video games like Call of Duty.

                                        Thanks for viewing.

                                        Have a great week!

                                          Hello there,

                                          Here are some more sketchUp concepts of guns.

                                          I will texture and render the second image when I have the time.

                                            Very nice work, Ken. I would kill for your imagination.

                                            I'm surprised that nobody has raised a stink because it's not "politically correct" to even think too loud about guns nowadays. Or anything else for that matter.
