‘Jaadi’ in Hindi means fat.
This vehicle is a concept for the public transport in the story; I referred to a lot of domestic transport of India and Pakistan while designing. The front part of the vehicle is the hood of an old car in India named ‘ the ambassador ‘, which was one of my favorite cars before they stopped production.
Specs:
Dimension: 8mts x 7mts approx.
Max. Altitude: 4 kms.
Max. Trip range: 150 ams
Crew: 2
Passengers: 4-5 persons
Armament: none
These were some character designs I did using fossils as a major element of their skin and tried imagining how it might look if they were warriors in an imaginary world.
‘Dhakkan’ in Hindi means a lid, it’s also a slang word used to call someone an ‘idiot’ or ‘stupid’.
Self constructed and designed by the orphans of Mumbai from the junk available in the slums and the industrial wastelands. I designed this keeping in mind the scrap that could be available like, canvas cloth, wooden planks, jet engines, chariot vehicle parts, streetlights, etc. Special features: Thrust pod / eject pod. Designed for rapid pursuits and capturing drones & other gang-war vehicles.
Specs:
Dimension: 16mts x 5mts approx.
Construction: Scrap material, basic steel framework.
Armament: Laser blasters
This is also a digital painting assignment I had during my studies.
It depicts some architectural elements of morocco, market scene, and a bull carriage passing through it.
I thank Nivanh Chantara for this image. I had referred to his paintings he made for his personal projects. I wanted to achieve a similar style and feel to the sketch. The image basically describes the vertical slums I imagined, since there will be no more land, people would stack up like a pile of trash and live in this world governed by the unjust corporations.
This is a random painting I did to depict a market built entirely using parts from a ship breaking yard.
The references used here were from the ship breaking yards from Bangladesh and India.
This is a piece I did to depict a scene from the novel called A Tale of two cities by Charles Dickens.
It’s a scene where the carriage full of wine gets spilled on the road and people around are gathering all they can to drink it.
This is just a speed painting practice I was doing back then to explore brush economy and composition.
Somehow topics like journey, pilgrimage, and post apocalypse are very easy topics to practice speed-painting on.
This vehicle I designed to be a commuter in this world. It’s a hybrid design between a common inter-city commuter named Dukkar you find in India and a Jeepney, commuter you find in the Philippines.
This fits about 10-15 people at once.
