Well, I'm back.
Just so you don't think I died, lol, here's where I'm at:

Yeah, I know, it doesn't have that Oompf yet, but I'll get there.

[Starv]

Cool beginning. Nice touch with that intravenous drip in your concept too. Made me laugh :)

Keep it up! :beer:

[Wolfzbane]

Well, been pretty busy this weekend, didn't have time to continue.
I'm back at work now.
Here's where I'm at...

[Wolfzbane]

Hmmm, sorry, still can't figure out this attached image thingy.
Will link to my website instead:

LOL!

Funny concept. A bit scary, but funny at the same time.

BTW, you can insert image urls to appear in your posts by clicking the little button labeld "IMG" in the post creation controls.

Or, you can simply format the image yourself by placing this: [IMG] before your image url, and this : [IMG/] after it.

:buttrock:

Best of luck!

It's starting to take shape...
Although I'm not finished with the front details, I'm attacking the engine right now.... BIG engine coming up!!! Lol.

[Hash!]

Really kool!.......can't wait to get old!!!!...and race against you!.....hehe!......The big wheels are kool!....it really looks like it could burn the streets!!!......hope to see the big engine that will make it fly soon!........keep posting!!!!.......:xtreme: :thumbsup:

[Wolfzbane]

Basic shape and size of engine added.
Will start to work on details now.

[genesis max]

Really nice, but add details man, i really like the back of the vehicle.
Waiting for updates :buttrock:

[Wolfzbane]

Here's more work done. I know everything looks very clean and shiny... will fix that at the end. Now I just slapped on some surfaces I already had lying around... it's temporary.

[Wolfzbane]

And here's the isolated engine, a lot more details coming up on this object...

[schmu_20mol]

hey this one's coming along nicely....imo it'd look better if you make the front with just one wheel ...keep it up

[Hash!]

Yep!...your Wheelster is getting nice!....dont forget the big pipes !.....and dont forget to put updates soon!......and maybe the stearing could be a Nintendo joystick!...:applause: .......see ya!...:wavey:

[Wolfzbane]

Thanks for the comments.
Actually, having just one wheel at the front is kinda interesting, I'll ponder on this some more.
About the steering... I was thinking of inserting a kind of mechanism which resembles those "walking aids" that old folks use, you know, the 4-legged metal tubing things?! Modified so that it leans toward becoming a handlebar steering device. Then again, maybe an oversized flight joystick will look better, lol.

[Wolfzbane]

Update...
Exhaust pipes and details on tire rims.

[Wolfzbane]

More...
Oxygen tank + Serum Bag + Joystick Steering.
The image quality suffers a bit, so I also included a link to a higher resolution one on my website.

Lol, thats awesome, i love the idea, but i think the front should be longer to give it alittle mroe of a dragster look

[Wolfzbane]

Well actually I had modeled the front end much longer than this at the beginning (almost twice as long), but I thought it looked too much like a dragster and was starting to lose it's wheelchair identity. I guess the wheelchair aspect of it is pretty much buried in all the dragster parts so far anyway. What does everbody else think? I'm really open to all comments here.

[MelC]

I think short front is good,more original look.i think less reflection to pipe and engine are.Look good still.:)

[Wolfzbane]

Ok, enough for tonight, I think I'll try this new thing everybody's talking about called "sleep".
Added a little windshield and a horn.
Two links to higher res images also.

[CGSisdead]

way cool idea ;)

I love your progress so far

roll on

:thumbsup:

[Wolfzbane]

Well, I'm out from under the woodwork.... back at work.
I've got 3 new images, mainly nurny-work on the engine and some tweaking of my objects.
Also did a quick render of some furry dice for the windshield, I thought it could add a classic-korny-kinda-touch. lol.
I linked to my website 'cause I just can't get those pics below 20k and still keep'em nice looking, sorry.
