Syd Mead

I was inspired to do some sketching after picking up Syd Mead's Sentry II. I have been fascinated by the work of Syd Mead ever since he did a talk at my college a few years back. His attention to detail and the environments he creates are stunning. His renderings depicting grand futuristic societies become believable in the way he inhabits the people in them. They act so natural to what would be to them a mundane setting, but to us is a fantastic vista.

I plan on doing some Syd Mead type renderings in the future, but here are some sketches of mine mimicking his sketches.

Li'l Demon Sidekick

Awhile ago I was working on a project that needed a cute, demon sidekick. Nothing came of the project, but I did end up doing some preliminary sketches.

Some of these remind me of the amazing How To Train Your Dragon. And others from LittleBigPlanet.

Well, since I'll need to buy a scanner I decided to use my camera to "scan" some sketches in. Since the image quality isn't that great I'll save my newer ones for later. In the meantime enjoy some older sketchbook goodies.
