You inspired me, to make my own concepts. Firstly I downloaded Blender, it was bit to hard for me (I’m just 12 year old).Then I tried Google SkechUp as you mentioned. But I still can’t have those shapes and colors.

I’m glad I’ve inspired you. I started this whole thing when I was about 12, too. I’m only 16 now. I initially tried Blender, and couldn’t figure it out either.I’ve got the free version, too. The past 4 years have been much of a learning experience for me, and I’m still improving every time. If you see my older work, you’ll notice how much I’ve improved (my first concept was the “Motorola Motosplit”, which looks terrible)The only basic advice I can give you as of now, is to put as much fine detail as possible. A lot of people overlook this, but this is crucial to the realism and reflections, which I will go into later. SketchUp has some great tools. I find myself using the “Follow Me” tool more than anything else. It’s what helped me make 90% of the New Eden!!! Also, intersecting and deleting, as well as making groups, are super useful. To make the basic shape, make all the views and curves first, and then intersect and delete. It’s like carving out the model.Some scripts will help, too. Try Soap Skin Bubble tool (Google it). It’s an add-on that helps you make organic looking, curved shapes.Remember, practice and the internet are your friends.

The biggest question I’m asked is how I make my renders.

I don’t like pirating. That ain’t me. I have to make my renders on pretty crude stuff sometimes, because I don’t have any decent programs myself.

I do all my drafting on MS Paint. Seriously. And, I don’t have a digitizer of any kind, just this old Sony 3-buttoned mouse.

The best advice I can give to any aspiring, unsupported render artist is to ask your architect friends to lend you some processing power and ray tracing prowess.

Yay! Nothing done yet though, but hey, we all gotta start somewhere.
