Wow! Apparently, I had a chance to meet with number 13 on Motor Trend 2010 power List Ian Callum! He came to school and gave a little speech about XE and his design philosophy. Pretty cool guy.
He said one thing that stuck in my head: " I wish I could stand Long enough to understand what I believe." Pretty deep stuff.

This image is intended to better explain submersible separation from the catamaran. I wanted to create an image that would show boat and submersible in action. Something engaging and dramatic. So far I like this one.

I decided to make some more images for the Nefertiti. Something that would show how it feels to be on board. This one shows view from the fore deck looking forward. I used Alias rendering as a foundation then added people, background and some details. I like it overall by sometimes I feel that something is missing. I am not sure what...contrast, direction??? Looking for suggestions.

As I was looking through slides for human factors came across Why boat designed by luca bassani antivari owner of WAlly yacht. I think I saw it before but didn't realize it was real. They even established a company to build it. This thing is so crazy and different... I don't know what to think of it. Floating island - concept is cool but I am not sure about the styling. you can see some video on their web site http://www.why-yachts.com/
