**Endlesss Engines - The Trash Collectors**

My latest work was an entry for Clint “Pwnisher” Jones community challenge “Endless Engines”!

Still Frames:

 ![Still 4_5.1.4](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/default/original/4X/f/7/f/f7fc8b92f1f6516e246b837ae5e9249cb0573027.png)

I wanted to go for an aesthetic that I’m calling “Breton-punk”, a sailor/ship-based future, keeping some Bretagne (Brittany) or British cultural traits.  
Inspirations were obviously the incredible work of Ian McQue, the video game Dishonored and a touche of Disco Elysium !

I’m happy that I could sculpt/model and texture all the hero assets (the cybershark, the 2 sailors and the boat) for the challenge.

A zoom on the characters:

I did also a small breakdown on the boat itself:
