Year 2087. Humans have colonized Mars and begun exploiting its resources. A potential titanium deposit has been identified 2,000 km from the main colony. A terrain vehicle will be deployed to scout possible routes, verify the findings, and collect samples.

Inspiration
When I began looking for inspiration, I was drawn to simple, minimalistic forms in which smoothness serves as the primary design characteristic, complemented by subtle sharp edges that add contrast and visual interest.

Gravity on Mars is only 38% of that on Earth. This allows astronauts to jump from the ground to the vehicle cabin, despite the rover’s high ground clearance.
The Ares Rover is designed to traverse all types of lunar terrain while carrying supplies and heavy equipment. To achieve this, the vehicle incorporates a retractable bed roof that prevents cargo from falling out.
The combination of raw metal with black, as well as the contrast between black and white, create a modern, futuristic appearance that complements the project effectively.
HOW ARE THESE SKETCHES MADE?
I drew a line art sketch using procreate
I used the shading option in Vizcom to give the sketch volume.
To get a realistic rendering change the style to car exterior and render one more time
PROMPT
Futuristic compact rover with smooth aerodynamic matte metal body, raised chassis, large rugged treaded wheels, recessed headlights, angular rear, low three-quarter front camera angle
I used the vehicle design sketch rendering option, selecting a style reference and uploading an image of a sketch with a shading style I liked. I then set the percentage of influence for the current drawing, the style, and the reference image, adjusting these values depending on the desired result. The renders are not perfect, so I corrected mistakes by drawing over them and re-rendering as needed.
