Stylised Scrap Vehicle

I wanted to set myself a personal project aimed at improving my 3D modelling skills and experiment with hand-painted textures using Maya, Blender, Substance Painter and Photoshop to remake and reimagine an old model/concept I created in college, in a completely new style. This project was a way to see how far I've come after my first year of uni and improve upon the skills I have learnt, whilst experimenting with new software/techniques.

My original ideas for this vehicle and the world that it is set in, is on a predominantly desert-like planet that acts as a galactic scrap graveyard, where parts and vessels of space ships are dumped. The scrap parts and still working technology was engineered together to make this vehicle to help aid the pilot in traversing and transporting parts across the planet. These parts then being used for inventions or sold off to others. 

With this in mind, I wanted to convey a crude makeshift vehicle comprised of various scrap metals and technological parts of different ages, all smashed together into an overly worn/loved vehicle.
