The idea for this image was born through some old and new images I found from inspirational
designer Syd Mead. He was responsible for many of the futurist designs from the
early 60s – 90s. I knew I wanted to have a car as the focal point looking off into a
futuristic landscape. I started by sketching out my car design and then creating it in
3D. I then slowly modelled the landscape and began construction of the buildings.
Slowly everything came together and I was able to workout a great perspective in
order to create interest in the car and the cityscape that was nearby. Once all the 3D
had been completed I then rendered the image and painted in many of the extra
textures, background and retouched many of the elements to create the colour and feel
I desired.
