A quick demo

While I can be surprisingly fast creating projects originally, it sometimes takes me a while to get around to scanning them or taking photos. So until I have a free day to track the progress of my current projects, I will share a few of my older works.

Gotta have something to start off the blog, after all!
Here we go...


Journey

Here's something Disneyland fans might recognise. The cool, robust mine explorer vehicles from Disneysea's "Journey to the Centre of the Earth". When I first heard about this ride, I searched EVERYWHERE for good documentation and photos. Sadly, I could find very little.
I took the scraps of blurry photos and few rider reports I had gathered and tried to sketch it down on paper. How close was I? No idea! One day I will journey far enough overseas to find out though.

Another famous Disney ride vehicle. These beauties run on the Paris version of Space Mountain- a Jules Verne inspired steampunk rollercoaster of epic proportions. With onboard speakers (brand new tech at the time!) and theming wrapped all over it, these trains look stunning!

Here's an old study I did of a standard Vekoma Suspended coaster vehicle. I was just looking at ways to theme it a little.

FloodedMine

Aaaand finally, a generic mine themed water ride. There's no story here, specifically... I just wanted to try my hand at putting together a mountain with a waterfall ride =)

These sorts of one-off doodles are what I do for a "quick fix" between major projects. Sometimes it’s just good to chuck out a bunch of ideas. Keeps things productive.
