Task 7 -Vehicle design


This week we have been asked to design a vehicle and the driver for a game, i understand that within games these days vehicles are a major part of most games with even full levels within and controlling a vehicle.  Games such as Gears of war and modern warfare.
However this is not a new concept with games such as Star fox adventures on the gamecube having full flying missions through space, giving another dimensions and breaks in the gameplay.  We were advised that animals were able to be a part of the vehicle, however we were instructed it was not a driver just on top of an animal, such as a Knight riding a horse, the design would have to be integrated into the armour of the vehicle.
I found this artwork of a spider vehicle climbing a massive cliff, and this is an example of a vehicle moulded around the shape and anatomy of an animal and using it too its full advantage.




This image again is from a website called Concept art world, and i have just found this website and i am finding it very useful. It allows me to search types of art that i need to take inspiration from.  I really like this vehicle it is a weapon and the sheer scale of the machine is what makes it great i really love the way we really see the scale of the mech because of the mountains around it and also the people in the boat on the lake.



This was another piece of concept art that i found from the website, this is a shape and design that i have grown too like.  I began looking at artwork from films and games like transformers however i think i need to be realistic of my drawing skills at the minute, i have seen tutorials and i know completing a drawing like that would not be possible at this time.  This design however has grown on me as i have looked back over war games that i have played and been inspired by and the main game was resistance on the PS3 and these machines really appeal to me, the scale and the power of the machine.  I like the way that all four legs help balance and keep the huge machine up, i can also see how i could make a vehicle like this look great as i believe my abilities could achieve a piece of artwork to this standard.
