Royal Steam Corps -- Gripping Adventures

Reuse.  I wasn't going to let all this go to waste.  This time I spent about 12 hours working on adjusting all the line thicknesses and positioning. The zeppelins were very small -- had to do a lot of surgery but it was worth it.  I like the results.

Sparkie Flier black & white

Here is the final black and white line drawing before I start adding the colour. I have changed the line colours to black. I combined the airship and pilot into one level. I also did a few tweeks so you can compare it to the previous drawing below. I also designed some airships for the background.

Sparkie flier under development

Here is one of the stages of development of the drawing for Sparkie's Flier. When I make a drawing I try to build it up from shapes that look like they might actually work. Rather than making a flat drawing I make it up of 3-dimensional appearing shapes. I also do this with my characters to bring more depth and weight to the drawings. All done in illustrator with a mouse. More changes do take place as I add the pilot.

This is a finished illustration, could be used for t-shirt design or the usual prints.

The Royal Steam Corps. Rules The Skies!

Steampunk airship

This is the template of an airship that I did in the illustrator program based on a one of my drawings from the 1980's. Eyeball perspective in the computer using illustrator. Going to use for painting and other images I am working on. You will see one in the next post.

Airships

Did some old airships back in '81, decided to update them and turn them into steampunk paintings.

Steam powered airships will rule the sky!
