As you can see above I collected some research images of water
tanks especially the water tanks on top of the high-rise buildings in New York
City I also looked at water tanks that would have supplied old steam engines
along the tracks
From these research images I compiled an image of what I'd
like my steam punk water tank to look like this would obviously be a mixture of
wood I then and brass in order to give the iconic steam punk look below I
started with the bottom and top which will be the same as this will be a drama
like shape with curved bottom and top this is what you can see below
After I finished the top and bottom which are the same thing
I added in some basic shapes in order to make the supports that'll hold the
water tank off the ground
After finishing the supports I added in a simple cylinder
and textured it with a dirty wood texture with mould on it this is because I
wanted to give the feel of the waters gradually leaked through the word and the
wood has become saturated as you can see below this is the finished product
Criticism: looking at the water tank it doesn't look very
dirty or damaged with the look I am going for all so I think I have not added
enough ports in order for pipes to enter and adding more detail also I'm still
debating on whether changing the brass colour for most of the metal as brass
would not be used to hold up a body of water this large I'm debating whether
having the bottom and Ryan colour and the brass at the top because brass would
not really be a support that body of water
