Title: Race of the Mekquines
Name: Nick Jacoubowsky
Country: USA
Software: Carrara

Modeled and rendered entirely in Carrara. No postwork. Critiques welcome.

I put more detail in this picture than actually shows up. For instance the riders have detailed legs and shoes. This was because I modeled the riders before I designed the robot horses. I initially thought they would ride on the outside like on real horses, but the robot designs I worked up changed that notion. For those who are wondering, there is a Syd Mead picture of a similar subject matter (only on a MUCH bigger scale) but it was not the inspiration for my picture. This picture was inspired by photos of motorcycle racers going around a curve.

the jetpacking to escape a downed robohorse is a nice little touch

This kinda looks like a Syd Mead piece. Very interesting.
