Hi there people who like art! Let's face it, you aren't here for my charming conversational-style writing. It's the artwork you want. Well today you're in luck, as I have for you not just the image you see before you, but also some new pages out of my sketch book. Not to mention some re-scans of a couple of other pages, that originally looked quite horrible.
So about the Gentleman Spacer. It was a piece for a friend's birthday. Quite simply I wanted to combine two things he loves, that being steam-punk and science-fiction. I immediately started wondering what a wealthy gentleman would look like if he wanted to go EVA while on a deep space cruise. I just couldn't resist the cybernetic arm, I also tried to incorporate the top hat into the helmet in some way, but just wasn't coming up with anything that looked too great. I thought the eyes in particular came out really well. I knew I wanted to incorporate some kind of crest in the chest plate, but I really wanted to steer clear of clichés like roses or lions, and instead opted for something no gentleman can be without, tea
So now the sketchbook pages...
