Back to the Future

Juggernaut

Juggernaut

Today we can say with a reasonable amount of certainty that there are no moon monsters and that a xenophobic race of diminutive green men are not planning humanity’s downfall from a base on Mars.  Indeed, we have outgrown the days when man can travel the stars in an aerodynamically preposterous cardboard boat with wings and pontoons glued on at random intervals (see: Himmelskibet).

And while it is possibly for the best that we have moved on from that last example it is, in my opinion, better to kick it old school from time to time and recapture the wonder of a retro-future than to get bogged down trying to make the ‘dark version of a painting of a graphic novel of a movie thats gritty and dark’.

Just saying, have some fun with it.

Mars Attacks…Again!

I added a bit of polish to my Fleet Commander drawing. Much better now, I think.

Perhaps it was the Roswell anniversery last week, or my near obsessive listening to Escape Pod since learning of it’s existence, but I’ve had sci-fi on the brain recently. Still, it didn’t stop me from cleaning up an older semi-historical drawing of a Hospitaller Knight.

Check back tomorrow for some gallery revamps.

Mars Attacks!

Here are some WIPs from my newest Black and White piece “Fleet Commander”. The final can be found below, as well as in the brand spanking new Black and White section of the Paintings page.
