The Valkyrie

Here Is a model that I have been so eager to do, since I was very young I wanted to design cars If I couldn't do that, I would have gone into animation and we all know how that turned out.

Anyways I had design a car that I thought looked Futuristic, Mind Blowing Fast, Slick and Gorgeous to look at. My inspiration for this design was the lambo LP640 and the Bugatti Veyron which in themselves are truly works of art and engineering And I only wish to reach such pure design and style.

So took my time on this one and its still going through changes as one can never be too happy with a design. You will see From the 1st design to the last one how much its change and yet stayed the same.

The word Valkyrie means "chooser of the slain", derived from Old Norse valr "the slain" and kyrja "chooser". In Norse myth the Valkyries were beautiful maidens who led heroes killed in battle to Valhalla, also known as the soldiers angel.
They themselves were fears warriors, Strong, Fast, and Beautiful hence why I have chosen the name Valkyrie for my concept car








Still a working progress....

Character design

I'm not just into modelling inanimate objects like cars and furniture, I also like making characters which is a whole new ball game when it comes down to it because you gotta think really well how and what your character is gonna do and that judges how you model it so here are a few that I have done. Note most biped (that's 2 legged) characters have a more or less the same structure.








Each character took approximately 2 Days with a full working rig thanks to setup machine.
