Galley Progress

O

ne of the most enjoyable interior spaces of the F/V Scully to model so far has been the galley. This is the heart of the fishing vessel, serving as both the kitchen and the crew's lounge area. My primary inspiration was the galley of the F/V Saga, as seen on the TV show Deadliest Catch. 

While I do replicate pre-existing elements, drawing heavily from real-world references, a significant part of the interior design process involves reverse-engineering features to accurately reflect the late 70s setting. For instance, the kitchen appliances underwent a deep dive, from the specific oven models to the design of the taps (faucets for any Americans reading). I've ensured that (almost) everything looks like it belongs from the 70s, rather than from a modern boat. This approach to even the smallest of details is central to creating an authentic experience.

Additionally, the challenge with this space was not simply to model a kitchen that looks functional, but also to capture the human aspect. The feeling that this is a space that's lived-in, a space that is both a place of work and a place of rest for the crew of the F/V Scully.

Below are a couple of screenshots of the galley. The majority of the units and panelling will be wooden; specifically teak. I'm eager to introduce earth tones with pops of colour during the texturing phase!

Double-barreled Kriegsmarine Signalling Pistol Renders

H ello! After being away from blogging for almost an entire year (big life changes) I am finally back! Posts might not be regular every month from now on, but  D_ROGUE is still very much alive. Things are just moving a little slower, as well as a bit sideways...like a crab. As the title for this post states, I have created a model of a  double-barreled Kriegsmarine signalling pistol for the game! A couple of years ago, I visited The Royal Navy Submarine Museum. Amongst the fascinating history and artifacts on display, I saw what looked like a firearm. Upon reading the information plaque, it turned out to be a unique and very rare double-barreled flare gun from a  German  submarine.  These big-bad-beefed-up flare guns were used on U-Boats in the Second World War not only for signalling and when in distress, but also for lighting purposes. My interest peaked,  I took  several photos for reference thinking it would be a fun hard-surface model to recreate....

New Project

Hello! Sometime while at University, studying Computer Games Arts, I had a vision for a video game. This idea, from 2015, would turn out to become a passion project where I mused, jotted and doodled on the sidelines of studying.  It wasn't for a further three years until I decided to actually put pen to paper (or pen to tablet in my case) and bring my idea to life.  As the quote goes, "A dream is just a dream until you decide to make it real" or "All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them". So in Autumn 2018, I did just that. Pursued my dreams. Now I wouldn't attempt to make a whole game all by myself. That would be silly and take literally years!  I lulled over the notion of asking fellow  graduates and  freelance artists  to aid in bringing my vision to life. This would be great but several factors including money and time played on my mind...alot. Then a marvell...

Hydraulic Crane Renders

I t has been over eight hundred and thirty five days since I began modelling the hydraulic crane (amongst many other things in my spare time) and I can finally say I have completed texturing it! This was without a doubt one of the hardest pieces of machinery to construct so far for D_ROGUE. Not only due to the number of parts involved (over one hundred individual pieces) but also the lack of any decent close-up reference. Almost every photo taken of a hydraulic crane, on board the boats seen in the TV show Deadliest Catch and elsewhere online, are either too far away or out of focus. I chose the F/V Saga crane as this was the most 'well-documented'. Eventually, it came down to just hours of staring at blurry images, learning all the major components, as well as a bit of creative licence! Here we have the final renders of the model below. I quite enjoyed weathering parts such as the hatch and lifting hook; adding a story with all the scratches, dinks and rust. I was careful not...
