Starting a new project – another car. Another OLD car.
I’m not sure why I torture myself with these old cars. They have all these weird curves and shapes that are just a nightmare to model properly. I think they did it on purpose – back in the 40’s and 50’s they anticipated computers and 3D modeling software and sat around the design table saying “you know what would be so funny?”
I think I’ve recovered enough to give character-building a second try after this car is done. Losing that original project to a hard drive failure was so demoralizing, but I’m over it now. It will be a different character though, one with lots and lots of pre-existing reference and very little invention needed; I’ve decided I need to practice the technical skills before I go trying to design things on my own.
