Space Racer news to come

I might have some more Space Racer news coming in a near future. Maybe. Stay tuned.

Orange Speed Machine WIP

Guys, here is the WIP orange ship I'm working on during my (limited) free time. I've been watching my original sketch and wanted to go to 3D for a while now. Also I'm curious to see what I could get from this original sketch once switching into surfaces and details while making improvements here and there in Alias...

Pitlane #17 by Daniel Simon!

I finally recieved these babies while I was in France. Manually numbered and hand finished by Daniel Simon. Absolutely gorgeous and exquisite. The (still) wrapped unlimited version is for my daily casual reading. Pitlane's only for big days ^__^

Thanks @DanielSimonCom.

Awesomeness by Tom

Guys, check Tom McDowell's insane photo batch/sketch! I'm pleased to see him taking some of my shots and see what he transforms them into! Pretty bad-ass Tom.

Flying thing

So I watched a video tutorial of Ian Galvin, sketching one of his crazy moto-jets and I wanted to give it a try. I'm really far to be satisfied with this result but for the time I spent on it it's ok... Here it's not a moto-jet it's more like a...jet...thing. The second image is more a thumbnailing of the process where I tried to use as minimum layers as possible.

Extreme-G Racing

Here is a snapshot of a missile fight during the race. The deadliest missile of all being the Yellow-straight-aim-400.. Here on the image, Gray's bike avoiding the trajectory of the missile while jumping in the air.

In Extreme-G, the tracks are very creative and amazingly curvy but they still offer very high speeds. Fun fun fun!

Gentlemen, start your engines

After doing the revival of the "Grimace" futuristic bike from the Game Extreme-G, here are 4 of my favorite AI opponent bikes. The interesting and creative part of this was to imagine what the bike looks like with the only few low-res images I found on the web.

For these bikes, I tried for the first time the texture mapping onto unfolded surfaces. This way, I could draw and position every rust and dent precisely on the bike.

Extreme-G : The revival

It's been a long time since I wanted to bring to life the futuristic bikes from the game "Extreme-G" on Nintendo 64. Well, here is one of my favorite: GRIMACE.
