Tank engine study

Tank engine study








Still working on mechanics.  This was a study I did mostly as an exercise in patience.  It was just about observation and modelling.  I could have continued to refine but i think I got what I needed from it.  This is a photo of a tank engine.  Massive.

Helicopter Study

Helicopter Study
I decided to do a series of vehicle / machine studies to work on my edges and get some workflow going.  I have actually avoided doing these kinds of things but I want to start working on these kinds of things.  Because of the nature of these studies I am going to spend longer than the unusual 2- 2.5 hours I would spend on these things.  This one took about 6 hours I think.
