Inking linework properly for the first time in a long time and thinking about my childhood heroes in this regard. David Trampier, Erol Otus, Albrecht Durer, and Shoji Kawamori were preeminent in their own ways. Moebius and Geof Darrow were later influences
Some of the ancient stuff holds up. Going to try working with more traditional media on a hunch
A few more iterations of applied building details for GALAHAD 3093

Not sure I ever showed these. Production concepts for a private client from a couple years ago. A lot of specific detail but with minimal finish. Kind of the opposite of illustration work. I find advice for one can often be contraindicated for the other

Sketching some weird gun shapes

The VTOL machines from Megazone 23 Part II left a lasting impression on me, particularly the Uhu. I'm sure there are ways to incorporate a ducted fan and not have it look like an Orca. There's a tension between a good functional read and viz. interest. Something to explore later!
