Medusa Visual Inspiration


All great projects come from great inspiration.When we sat down to discuss what type of UAV we wanted to create the Terminators HK Hunter killer and the Matrix Sentinel immediately came to mind. 

I looked over hundreds of images trying to find the one that fit the communicate the final look and feel for the Medusa Project. These dark menacing designs with machine minds hovering in the smoke and darkness provoke the perfect combination of awe and fear for a theatrically remember-able flight.

This Sentinel by Felix Joleanes is not only a great image but also a great model. Check out the following links to see more of his work on the project.

Below are my initial concept sketches of the Medusa project were done on my Phone with Autodesk SketchPro Mobile app. They are my first impressions of mixing the multiple segmented arms and multiply eyes of the sentinel and the v tailed quad adaption of the HK Body.
