I produced this scooter concept as a demonstration piece for my illustration students. I give an assignment in our visual development unit where students must write a character brief and design three props for that character, one of which must be a vehicle or conveyance of some sort. The sample character for my demo assignment was a one-line concept: "Boromugi, the undead pizza delivery cyborg".
Part one of the assignment is to give me ten rough sketches of each item. Because we're under a lot of time pressure for this assignment, I'm okay with very rough sketches. Below are the the examples I gave the class (I only did six – instructor's privilege):
Then, after consulting with their art lead (me) and selecting one basic design concept of each item, the students need to produce three grayscale renderings of each object in a preexisting style.
After one more round of feedback, the students then select and iterate the three items one last time and produce a full colour rendering. We try to cram this all in three days. Fun stuff!
