DSG 391: Vehicle: Fusion Train

[dsg bot]

Today's topic is: Vehicle: Fusion Train

[artistanbul]

what is that a nuclear train?

[Swoop]

Fusion ? As in cold fusion...
Then it's basically a nuclear fusino powered train.. cold fusion being nuclear fusion exising at room temperature.

Anyways i'm sure we will get alot of trains from this one :D

Both are utterly adorable.

matt & village:

Those are awesome trains! You really convey a sense of motion!

I'll try to add one tonight. Mechanical objects aren't something I usually make, so this is a great chance to widen my horizon :)

Great job everyone.

Matt when do you release your first book! Amazing your style. I would die to paint like this.

Here my sketches:

And here my first Photoshop Painting ever:

There is a lot of hard work to do, I know. Please give me feedback.

Thank you all.

I cannot wait for my wacom to get here... this is an wesome topic, great work all around.

[shadoman]

Some very impressive work today from all.

Not much time today. Here's my quick sketch. It's based on one of those magnetic train tracks that they are starting to implement for the new high-speed trains.

Hi guys. Some excellent work.

Here's my first marker drawing in months. Very Batmanesque. Train fused with a jet engine (you can see the jet engine's nose cone).
I did a bit of Photoshop work. Took me about 100 mins total.

i need to practice painting alot more bleh

[artistanbul]

I have a question, trevor's sketch brought it to my mind but all of you. How do you make long clean lines? its pretty hard for me unlike on paper. Is it because my wacom is a A3 giant? I wonder... but I doubt. and now I mentioned it dont you hate slippery wacom surface? man, nothing comes close to graphite dissolving on paper with a slight hshhhh.

[c0ldf1ame]

point A, hold down shift, point B straight line,

you probably already knew tho =)

if you want a curved long clean line then its all up to ur pencil skills with the wacom, n yes slippery surface is annoying sometimes, but with a 4x5 tablet i can make very straight lines across the page, smaller has its advantages :)

[BRANDISH]

tape some paper onto your tablet and draw on this

[plaf]

on straight and curved lines

you can indeed [click A - hold down shift - click B] to make a straight line, but you can use the path tool as well (and the line tool for that matter).

pick the path tool 'P' and you can plot points for a spline curve - that can either be a line (i.e. 2 points with no angle set to them, just a click for each point) or a curve (i.e. 2 points or more with angles set, a click and then drag to change the angle (not for the first point, but for consecutive ones))

the disadvantage to this approach is that the lines will be uniformly sized all the way, so you'll lose some some of the nice dynamic you get when drawing by hand. besides, this isn't really sketching :) - nice when you want smooth curves though.

[dCepT]

Lots and lots of kick ass work here!

Young Paddy: Don't put yourself down! It wasn't poo! I liked the colors and the speed in your piece!

I couldn't post yesterday since my bandwidth at 250free.com was spent.... Anyone know of any free domains where you get more bandwidth pr month?

Plaf:

That is baddest freaking train piece I have ever seen. EVAR! Everything about that thing is awesome. I love the scale you gave by putting a couple of people standing next to it, looking very small indeed.

Terrific work.

Village, and Matt:

Stellar work from you two as usual.
