Nice

Very Cool Mike. Those Mattel guys are hard to reach. Spoke with old School Hot Wheels Designer Larry Woods
and it is tough to get your foot in the door! -Great sketches!

Thanks guys - these sketches were a lot of fun to do - but for the first time in my life I reached the limit of my own abilities..... My boss actually wanted me to be MORE EXTREME with this assignment . . . which is a very unusual occurence in my experience!!

VERY cool! Funny to hear that Matchbox sought a more "extreme" look, as they are usually the more conservative brand, design-wise (and still one of my favorites!)... Great work again!

One of my all time favourite MT design sheets.
I still carry a copy of this study in my case.

Ace work buddy!

I think I have the cargo plane...

Really? Cool - I never knew these suckas ever made it as far as production in the end - please send me a JPEG!

aaawweesssoome!

awesome page Mike really cool, how long did this take to complete?

Thanks Alp, in terms of timescales to complete - well, the emphasis was on getting ideas down on paper and out the door as quick as possible. Each plane was probably no more than half an hour to sketch and annotate, and we did literally dozens and dozens of quick fire concepts in this style. This sheet was compiled afterwards in Photoshop to cherry pick my favourites.

- I'm not sure I could still sketch this quick though - these sheets were produced during a very intense predominantly sketch-based period in my career - these days I'm probably quicker on ALIAS than anything else.

awesome page never the less !

A car-kidnapping jumbo airplane...anything this wicked-fun should be in production! Can I have yours Jeff?

brilliant page

Cheers Adam - it was certainly a load of fun to work on these concepts . . one of the few creative briefs I've been set where the clients have actively pushed and pushed to go as whacky and "out there" as conceivably possible!!

really nice skills man, digging it

Thanks Neil!

incredible detail mike, cheers!

Cheers Matt - glad you like it . . a lot of the detail work just got out of hand . .once you start it's difficult to know when to stop!!

Great ideas!

Real nice sketchs mike.

Sh*t dog! Nice!
