Haven’t drawn a spaceship in a long while.  Did this for fun at lunch today. It’s the Accipitor Class. It attacks, it transports, it does it all…but mostly attacks, I think. More focused on the design than the thinking behind it on this one.

Lots going on right now.  Big deadline coming this weekend for a children’s book I’m doing.  Excited for this one.  More on it later.

All right, see you in a few days.

I did this for a friend of mine who needed it for a pitch to investors.

Below is a breakdown of how I made the image; starting with a photo I found on gettyimages.com all the way to final. I wish I had time to write out what I’m doing in each iteration. If you have any specific questions just ask. Also, I based the giant terraforming engine in the background on this concept by Brandon Dayton.

Another samurai. Man, these guys are fun to draw.  I want to do a comic about them now.  I haven’t posted a step-by-step process piece in a while.  The original sketch was done on the cintiq, and as usual has a lot more energy than the finished piece. Someday I’ll figure out how to keep the energy all the way through to the final.   Click for larger:

Hadn’t drawn a samurai in a long time…maybe never.  This drawing was to remedy that.
