3dM@niak - March/April

here we go user added image here's concept, something like assault machine, steam powered, with automatic-arrow-launcher, 2 cutters and 4 legs user added image First i wanted to do something with a zeppelin, but i decided to do this... U think it's good enough or should i make another sketch?



Probably will make many changes during modeling, it's easier to correct some things in 3d than on sketch user added imagehttps://img231.imageshack.us/img231/8...smallerbm3.jpg

i usually don't stop after making one sketch only, and i'm not to satisfied with first one (very large, but not to interesting) so i decided to try making something smaller, but more interesting...
In steampunk my favorite idea is flying - so i decided to give it a try user added image user added image like a jet, but steamy way user added image

hmm... keep thinking about this, and i have one idea, final, and the best.
Symbol of steampunk for me is a factory, with all those machines and power sources and everything... So i'm going to try to make a steampunk factory user added image with zeppelins, trains, transportations, steam-plant, air base, wind generators, and all those machines user added image

So if i make it in time - it'll be enormous user added image if I don't - i'll take part of it and post it as final user added image

So this is gonna be a large WIP user added image user added image

Sketches soon user added image
