Model of Grunt W.I.P.

I got a first pass of the grunt done.  I REALLY like how this feels.  Boxy and squat but kind of cute.  This looks like it'd make a great toy.  I had to put a couple of them in a scene with the tank.

Making a toy?

I got some more work done on the vertical tank model and decided to submit it to a website that makes prototypes.  The model will be made of a high detail plastic and the final should only be about 55mm tall.  I hope it looks good.

Going through this process has me really excited about the world of Rivet.  I can imagine scale character, aircraft, more vehicles and much more.  I've started drafting some story ideas.  It'll probably start with some images with a short story written about them.

Tried making a quick model of the vert tank to play around with proportions and to get a feel of what it was like as a dimensional object.

Sketches that got things started.

Let's get started...

I am starting this blog to help me flesh out the world of Rivet.
