Honda Chopper motorcycle

Futuristic Honda motorcycle

Awesome futuristic motorcycle 3d concept by artist Pete Norris.

Inspiration for this came from a number of sources, the clean functional lines of medical machinery, 70's and 80's marker drawings and manga.

As a kid my favourite vehicle from any film was the speeder bike from Return of the Jedi, so I guess there maybe some influence from that too.

I wanted to design a bike that was a purpose-built chopper, long front suspension, feet forward seating position and a large footprint.

Pin up girls

Cool cartoon style pin up girls.

Collection of cool 3D character illustrations and pin up girls created by Carlos Ortega Elizalde, talented 3D character artist from Guanajuato, Mexico.

The Weeping Woman

The Weeping Woman

Created for the Collective Exhibition in Mexico: "Ilustrando para" as homage for the mexican Rock Band "Caifanes", glad to be part of this collection along with many talented mexican colleagues I respect and admire.

It depicts my vision of one of many versions of the mexican legend of "The Weeping Woman" (La Llorona) and it is inspired by the song of the same name by the band Caifanes. The legend tells the story of a young woman who has lost her children, even after her death, during nights her spirit keeps weeping in sadness looking for her dead children.

Another unfinished scene from a while ago. I found it recently and thought it was a cute scene worth to finish. Created in Maya and Mudbox, render in mental ray

Nothing fancy, this started just as a rendering test with FurryBall’s new version so I grabbed an old model I’ve used on a few workshops to practice lighting and rendering (the base mesh is from an image I did last year).
At the end I spent a couple of days adding other details and reworked the rig and model (hair, clothes, face).

Apple early concept designs & prototypes

Awesome Apple concept designs from nearly 35 years ago

Apple early concept designs & prototypes from the book:

Keep it simple - The Early Design Years of Apple by  Hartmut Esslinger

Apple Macphone 1984

‘Keep it Simple’ introduces the success story of Apple from the viewpoint of Hartmut Esslinger, who as an external designer in close collaboration with Steve Jobs was essentially responsible for the design of Apple products. His authentic perspective dispels many a myth – a must for all Apple enthusiasts.

‘Keep it Simple’ is the authentic story of the collaboration between Steve Jobs and Hartmut Esslinger, which began in 1982. The result of this partnership between entrepreneur and designer is of historic dimensions: Steve Jobs was the first to make Strategic Design the core of Apple’s Business Strategy. By this, Apple grew from an originally technology focused company into one of the world’s most successful, global brand, and this was achieved by creating and delivering innovative and intelligent products designed for humans like you and me.

New London bus concept

Bus concept by designer Jamie Martin.

In the summer of 2008, London Mayor Boris Johnson launched a worldwide competition to create a replacement for the classic Routemaster bus. The competition closed in Sept 2008, and winners were invited to an awards ceremony in London's Westminster on 19th Dec 2008.

New London bus concept

Jamie was awarded joint second place, behind winners Aston Martin cars and Copoco. The finished bus is planned to hit the streets in 2011, and will be an amalgamation of the winning designs.

New London bus concept

The London Navigator has been conceptualised as a spiritual successor to the now classic Routemaster bus. The Routemaster is regarded as one of the key recognisable icons of London. It was felt that an equally distinctive replacement for the Routemaster is required to retain this iconography; a red bus that can only be associated with London, is easily distinguishable from the standard double-decker or bendy bus, and is quintessentially British. The overall approach has been to produce a unique and recognisable bus; a functional yet characterful new icon for London.
