Concept – Caught in my headlights

Concept Sketches

These are some preliminary sketches I’ve done for a project I’m working on. My Colleague, Tony Fiore (The bloke who runs our shop at school) and I are going to make a 1/4 scale hard styling clay model this spring (after the semester has been completed) and will be documenting the process in the hopeContinue reading “Concept Sketches”

2017 Force India F1 Concept

I’m bowing to public pressure and have raked the rear wing a little. Somehow I’m partial to the traditional “vertical” rear wing, but perhaps this will grow on me.

2017 Mercedes F1 Concept

I’m a little behind on these this year – am going to try to get one done a week and post them as I do. These are concepts, and do not relate to current F1 rules per se – that is to say there are exaggerations here. Please double click for full size image.

Rubbish Rendering 2

This I knocked out in half the time – practice makes perfect? It had been a while since I’d done this and this second image (to my mind) turned out way better. The previous (colourful) one took me about 4 hours. This took me about 1.5. Go figure. Which do you like better?

Rubbish rendering 1

This is the photoshop rendering I did for my rendering class. Shock! Horror! It’s crap. Oh well. It’s been a while since I rendered in photoshop and this shows it. I threw the kitchen sink at this when I realized it wasn’t working… “sigh”

Another Sketch Concept

Another concept sketch – this one is going to be scanned in and taken through a photoshop render in the class I’m teaching tomorrow. Will post the finished result when it’s done…

2016 Renault F1 Concept

I’d love to see Renault come back with their yellow, black, and white livery. Somehow I think that sponsorship considerations will make this untenable. It’d be nice though, wouldn’t it?

2016 Mercedes F1 concept

Sorry everyone, a little late with this, this year, but my travels have distracted… So – my first 2016 “concept”, the Mercedes. You’ll note that Petronas still don’t get their preferred colours in my design, but I’ve just spent 3 weeks in Malaysia and I have developed the opinion that Petronas has much bigger worriesContinue reading “2016 Mercedes F1 concept”

D-Type Concept

Something a little different. This is a not-too-imaginative update of a D-Type, mostly I was working up a slightly different rendering style than is my usual…

2015 Lotus E23 Concept

I’ve always thought that if Lotus are going to use a “JPS” inspired livery that they should do it “properly”. By “properly” I mean that they should do what they did back between 1972 and 1985, and that is to have all sponsors comply with the primary livery colours. I think (and this is, of course, onlyContinue reading “2015 Lotus E23 Concept”
