@jamesPLANESiiKind, kind of, sometimes you come up with good ideas when you try to make something you added just because you liked it actually make sense. This isn’t the best example, but on this build, I decided very late to make the cockpit asymmetrical because the view from it just wasn’t good enough. Now, it’s one of my favorite things about the design.

@CrazyCatZe Ahh, so it's like, taking the purpose out of the equation and just going for combining looks from unrelated vehicles? That's pretty interesting actually, I think it kinda works!

@DeeganishCountryball, thank you!

@jamesPLANESii, to be honest, I’ve been really struggling to come up with ideas lately (by that I mean for the past four years). My main approach has been to try and combine things I like. For example, a lot of this is inspired by trains. I like the three-lamp arrangement some trains have, so I used that, along with the plow thingy on the front, etc. I could go on for much longer, but the idea is to combine things you enjoy and hope the result is cohesive. Sometimes, it helps to start with how the machine should feel and build from there. But I don’t think I’m great at coming up with cool concepts, sometimes I draw something I like, but that feels more like luck than a sophisticated pipeline

This looks so cool!!! I'd love to make some steampunk and dieselpunk designs but idk how to design these. Where do you begin and get inspiration from, and how do you combine certain things to make it look steampunky?
Btw I reckon green suits it best
