First few concepts of the Imp Express

View street- people and cars waiting at crossing

I became highly influenced by some images of 1920/30s American stream trains and came up with concept for the train.

These were the initial designs I came up with during the first few weeks of working on the 'Imp Express'.  I had a few styles in mind at the time, but chose to look at film- noir and a 1930s design, with small fantastical elements to highlight the surreal parts to the story. 

I also did these before we had any idea of the style we were heading towards!
