[Archive] Crazy machines of Rowland Emett

Grimstonefire:

We are all fans of fantasy machines here I imagine, you should all google this guy.

I had the pleasure of seeing all these original sketches and many of his machines the other month in an exhibit and I was very inspired.

He had very inspiring ideas for fantasy trains. It’s weird ‘out of the box’ stuff that would add a lot of fantasy elements to any project.

Malorndk:

Any links to anything?

:wink:

There’s lots of machines, but you have to think beyond fairground rides and imagine a crazy CD engineer building it.

What a wonderful find :hat off

That picture with the high hatted dwarfs riding a train is my fav.

Doombeard:

there was a nice mecha-troll in boxtrolls, it was kinda reminiscent of that design esthetique

Helblindi:

I don’t like them much. They’ve got too much going on with too little body, imo. But to each their own of course.
