Alberto Seco Oct 15, 2011

Very nice sketches!
AJAY DHANKAR Oct 05, 2011

cool design work..!
Mahmod Mosafa Jun 12, 2011

Nice work.
Mike Turner Jun 06, 2011

Cheers Glenn . .. . yup - guilty as charged . . . I wanted to get those Majenta razor edge highlights . . . should maybe have added an impossibly thin slinky chick in a shiny black floor length dress to finish things off . . . . .
Glenn Johnson Jun 06, 2011

love the vivid nature - almost Syd Mead colors
Mike Turner Jun 05, 2011

Cheers Marc . . at some point I have to make time to model a proper truck.....
Mike Turner Jun 05, 2011

Cheers Marc . . . was aiming for arty . . . sunset baked orange.... not sure it works entirely, but a fun image to do all the same...
Marc Senger Jun 05, 2011

Really nice graphic harmony going on here Mike.
Marc Senger Jun 05, 2011

High-performance colors to match a high-performance beast. Love it Mike.
Gary Major May 30, 2011

Still outstanding.
Gary Major May 30, 2011

I remember this series of sketches well, fun times.
Gary Major May 30, 2011

Great Moon-hugging stance on this one Mike. . . . . and as for that livery mate. . .
Gary Major May 30, 2011

This design will always mark the genesis moment for your distinctive design style mate. Still looks super cool!
Gary Major May 30, 2011

Not seen these before mate, simple clean designs. No.1 is how I'd envisage a high-end Siemens radio would look.
K. Todd Shelley Apr 17, 2011

Fun Stuff...Excellent!!
K. Todd Shelley Apr 17, 2011

Sweet ideation sketch page...
mohd khairul Anwar Mohd Dahuri Jan 06, 2011

matchbox my favourite since my elementry school :D has one of the ideas in your sketch been produced?? wish to have one!! great ideas and innovation :D
Joe MacCarthy Nov 17, 2010

Sh*t dog! Nice!
Mahmod Mosafa Oct 27, 2010

A great designer and a great teacher too,thank you sir.
Nick Wilson Oct 26, 2010

Real nice sketchs mike.
Row 0 - Simon Williamson Oct 20, 2010

Great ideas!
Mike Turner Sep 23, 2010

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!!
Matt Dean Sep 01, 2010

incredible detail mike, cheers!
Mike Turner Aug 19, 2010

Thanks Neil!
Neil Macqueen Aug 17, 2010

really nice skills man, digging it
Mike Turner Aug 02, 2010

Thanks Marc. I'd be really keen to do another seat project in Alias at some point . . there's certainly a lot of issues to refine and work through.
Mike Turner Jul 27, 2010

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!!
Adam Borton Jul 27, 2010

brilliant page
Marc Senger Jul 26, 2010

A car-kidnapping jumbo airplane...anything this wicked-fun should be in production! Can I have yours Jeff?
Marc Senger Jul 26, 2010

Fun to see your old school roots. I like the elegant seatback shapes, especially the way you continued the armrests around the back. Nice unification throughout.
Mike Turner Jul 26, 2010

Thanks, Renan.
Renan Socbzak Jul 22, 2010

very nice!
Alp Germaner Jul 20, 2010

awesome page never the less !
Mike Turner Jul 20, 2010

- 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.
Mike Turner Jul 20, 2010

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.
Mike Turner Jul 20, 2010

Thanks Jim - glad you like them.
Jin Namkung Jul 20, 2010

these sketches are so nice that I can't say which one I like more -_ - Really great work !
Alp Germaner Jul 16, 2010

awesome page Mike really cool, how long did this take to complete?
Mike Turner Jul 15, 2010

Cheers Elie, but I really don't miss spending 2 days per artwork.. these days I can get a full CAD model blocked out in less time, and the resultant data is infinitely more useful downstream within the design process.
Mike Turner Jul 15, 2010

Yeah, my research led me to realise that what the brief required was a truck spaceframe clad in a series of very basic, simple to fabricate / simple to replace body panels; as opposed to complex organic forms and intricate panel gaps - this is a pure FUNCTIONAL solution, and the looks are just about irrelevant.. although blocky can be cool sometimes!
Mike Turner Jul 15, 2010

George - sorry! J.David . . not had much chance to tackle anything water-borne as yet . . but I'd certainly consider it if the right opportunity ever presented itself . .let me know if you would like to collaborate!!
Mike Turner Jul 15, 2010

Dunno - I'd originally wanted to do something high revving, incredibly noisy and bike-based for the powersource - making a VERY angry waspy sort of sound... the eco warriors out there would naturally prefer the plug-in version!
Mike Turner Jul 15, 2010

Cheers mate - would love to revisit HMUV at some point with all this in mind...
Mike Turner Jul 15, 2010

Hell yeah - go for it son . .I could probably send you some tracks from the Chimaera project if it helps?
David Fearnley Jul 15, 2010

Haha. I still love this one Mike... If I ever get some spare time in the evenings I'll see about roughing it up in CAD... fancy doing this design the justice it deserves???
Mike Turner Jul 01, 2010

Cheers dudes - comments very much appreciated... I think some of the dynamic in this sketch is testament to the fact that I rattled it out over a half hour lunchbreak . . . sandwich in one hand, Wacom in the other...
Bryan Johnson Jul 01, 2010

how the hell did i miss this one! Slick sketch Mike.
Gary Major Jun 12, 2010

Forgot how much I loved this one mate - and it's still right on the money.
Mike Turner Jun 11, 2010

Yeah I'm pretty much an all-out Germany fan . . everytime I'm over there I never want to come home. Wish I could find a job out there at some point..
George Inashvili Nov 05, 2009

Dude you basically just made me cry...
Michael Gillett Sep 20, 2009

Yeah make a 3D model Mike. Maybe a couple of updates and it would make some pretty cool renders!
Mike Turner Sep 20, 2009

Thanks guys - yeah, this one has been around for a while... Will perhaps get round to taking it into CAD and bringing it up to date at some point. . perhaps to coincide with the 10th aniversary of the sketch!
Steve Underhill Sep 19, 2009

Great design, I remember seeing this in an autocar issue.
Corey Harris Aug 17, 2009

I love the feel and energy this sketch depicts. Awesome sketch!
yong-hwan Kwon Jun 16, 2009

good show ~ & good luck ~**
Hector Silva Jun 15, 2009

aaawweesssoome!
Mike Turner Jun 15, 2009

Really? Cool - I never knew these suckas ever made it as far as production in the end - please send me a JPEG!
Jeff Smith Jun 14, 2009

Nice life in this sketch Mike.

Mike, great rendering! -Elie
Conny S Jan 12, 2009

Hey Mike, you like the Germans, don't u? :-) German Police is changing to blue colour, now. Perhaps to express more authority - green is too symphatic..
vSu - CCS Nov 14, 2008

awesome ! And it has that Gulf look to it..
vSu - CCS Sep 10, 2008

awesome work !
Anthony Cooper Aug 08, 2008

Awesome car concept man
Gary Major Aug 03, 2008

I'd still like to pitch this to Sir Stirling (via the obvious routing) just to get his reaction. Ace work mate!
Chris Peart Jun 30, 2008

this is excellent mike
Chris Peart Jun 30, 2008

great
Glademir Prestini Jun 05, 2008

very nice image Mike ... i like your sketchs
Don Vierstra Jun 05, 2008

Hey Mike! Nice block-like styling. Looks like a strong and durable design!
Mike Turner May 28, 2008

Thanks Simon, This was just a quick theme sketch to explore the basic forms and volumes. I tend to work this way art the start of most projects - keep it loose and focussing only on the key elements rather than trying to draw everything. . . it also means you can work much quicker and cover more ground within the timescales . .
Simon Rapisarda May 27, 2008

I really like this rendering, Its sweet! I like the fact that you have left out some of the architecure and focused on the aesthetics. Nice style. could be a new ktm super duke?
Victor Gonzalez Apr 24, 2008

i really like your sketching technique.... cool concept design too!
Gary Major Feb 15, 2008

One of my all time favourite MT design sheets. I still carry a copy of this study in my case. Ace work buddy!
Don Vierstra Feb 14, 2008

Great work Mike! Some Vette like and Mercedes styling hints which make this drawing exciting!! Notice some modern touches too.
rajat naik Jan 01, 2008

gr8...........work.
Mauricio Ferrusca Nov 16, 2007

i'd say you painted a great scenario and visualized it quite well, mike. great brainstorming!
Mauricio Ferrusca Nov 13, 2007

wow. pertty outstanding work.
J. David Weiss Sep 24, 2007

Really like this design, and sketch style. Simply stated focal point, well delineated forms. I am looking into the yacht design world a bit right now, and I know you are a bit north of all the designers on the Thames, but have you interfaced with any of them, or had any experience that you could share in the arena? I'd also like to see you take a turn at drawing up your take on a nautical vessel....
Brian Stupski Sep 13, 2007

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!
Don Vierstra Sep 12, 2007

Mike, I really like this design. Has some of the Ford GT paint scheme. It also conveys some hints of the old Capri . Too bad this isn't being produced. It is soooo cool!
Mike Turner Sep 12, 2007

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!!
Don Vierstra Sep 12, 2007

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!
Mike Turner Jul 14, 2007

Thanks, Dave - but I just coloured it in - the design and underlay was all down to you . . . good collaborative effort!
David Fearnley Jul 14, 2007

Nice rendering Mike, quick sketch, paint type finish, works a treat...Neil Armstrong would be proud
Faisal Shaukat Jul 10, 2007

hey mike, great work! i love the dieselmax but this truck is one of my favorites! nice design.
Jack Waller Apr 06, 2007

Nice looking vehicle. What kind of powertrain?
Mike Turner Mar 22, 2007

Hi Alejandro. This design is my proposal for the next generation LandRover Defender. So no, it's not produced in England yet . .
Alejandro Loya Iturralde Mar 22, 2007

is this suv produced in england?
