i like your sketches... i wish i could produce work that nice so quickly. however, it seems difficult to get a good idea of how you want the insect machine to look. do you have any sketches of it not in flight? that might help with the "homemade" detailing. otherwise, great concept! is the pilot using harley davidson handlebars to control the insect in that bottom sketch? :p

really cool concept style. Marker master. Like the design of the fly! Maybe you need to make it mechanic for fit challenge rules.

Isn't everyone inspired by starwars as the last sketch?
Made many concepts like this myself.

I love the last concept! The idea of a jetpowered hooversledge is ace! Hoovering isn't quite flying but I think we can let that through ;)

If u dont do the last one I'll never talk to you again. heheh :thumbsup:

thanks for the replies, guys...

seems the last one is the most popular,.... it's powered by some kind of fuel motor mixed with a gravity deflector , :lightbulb ??? ....that kind of flying high tech stuff.

just like the speed bikes in the star w first trilogy, it's capable of surface flying but also for atmospheric flight, so i' think that it's not necessary to limit it as a hoover machine...

i'll preview a few more concepts, so stay alert!!!!

one famous word to say. hardcore.
like the idea very much although riding such a thing would be somekind of hellride.

P..:

Paul V

Hellrender: yes, the exhaust pipe is deformed, it's to achieve a home made look, less regular... don't know if it's too irregular...

prayas: sure it will be hard to drive, but don't worry, the driving seat will be full of secure belts... :eek:

Wow Paul V, it's a unique and wild style you have got in your sketches... it is really impressive.

I'd love to feel the same style in 3d... I sincerely hope you'll be able to reach that quality and sharpness in your model !

I just can not wait updates now...

killer design, does it hover, pr have a lift device, i know your just adding detail, i would like to see some panels.n rivits, the grill peice seems alittle under developed, i would add, some anlges and edges, it looks litlle rigid, tough to explain but great model anyway, keep going
