Tuesday (Late) Contribution ...


Here are two sketches, one Photoshop'd a bit, the other not ... The top sketch is of an industrial area on the planet where one of my story ideas, Privateer, takes place ... I'm really just getting the feel of the place and each week I'll be posting a new take on it, or a more finished rendering of it. My ultimate goal is to use the Tuesday postings to get a new piece or two ready for Rockstar's Creative Session. If left to my own devices, I'll procrastinate too long and arrive at the meeting with a mess ...

Oh, and the lower image is a first pass at a sleek cargo jetthat will be used within this same visual world of Privateer. I have wanted to play with the notion of a plane that had the variable geometry nose design of a supersonic transport ... and perhaps the wings will, too ...

Very nice sillohuette on the aircraft. Little like a Foxbat.

Make sure you post the environment in more finsihed form. great start.

FUN!

So will you show these sketches or will you progress them somehow?

BTW your space imagery led me to my Tuesday sketch idea. Thanks Tom!!

I'm going to post updated version(s) of the scene each Tuesday because it will become a more rigorous sketch, then an inked sketch, then I'll drop it into Photoshop and render it ...

And I agree, Skribbl ... it is very fun. I'm glad you got a bug going for space! I like the results!!

Hardware is my weakest skill... I have a Gnomon Workshop DVD on drawing cars sitting on my desk to view, which I am hoping will have info that works for spaceships and the like.

In case I haven't said, I'm watching all the Gnomon DVDs numerous times ... I have Feng's Concept Design 2 in my DVD player even as we speak. I want to make environment design and hardware my strongest points because I think that no matter where you go, you have to have places to see and stuff to ride around in ...
