Indus Wallriders 02

There a lot of new TKP work, kinda piling up now, so it's time to start dropping some here to share I've been working on something for awhile TKP related that should be pretty cool when I can show it. For now it'll be peeks and concepts.

[Just to note, these are not flying cars, they're suspended on tracks between buildings. They may look like flying cars but are not, the wheels (like train wheels) are on the sides sticking out.]

Here we have another collection of TKP-Deco Wallriders. Wallriders are a form of track bound vehicles native to the industrial and architectural planet Indus. As noted in the previous wallrider post: [link] Indus is a claustrophobic architectural environment so dense that these vehicles, more or less, evolved in response to that reality.


Being the true age of Indus is unknown to it's inhabitants some of these vehicles can be very old and hobbled together. You can often see examples like the top right vehicle that are a mix of newer panels and rusted panels, etc. The doors on all these types of vehicles, generally, open up like a gull wing style or flip up due to the railing tracks obstructing them swinging outward. Occasionally some do have the more conventional type of doors but they have to be placed above the rail to clear it.

Most of the examples here do have clear windshields but many of these vehicles have the windscreen area completely covered with the interior either displaying the camera data from outside or displaying some form of diversionary entertainment. Due to the vehicles being suspended on tracks accidents are a rarity so minding the road, as it may be, is not required.

The various "fins" and antennae are various sensors and, of course, communications gear.

Light box clean ups of pencil thumbnails, digital colors in CS3 I should also note the fuzzy BG is a peek at pencils for one of the Badan Song enviro shots of Indus.

More to come...
