Inspiration: Jet Pack

Oh boy, I want one of those! I'll show you why with my next update here.


Update
Here's the signalized update. It wasn't the shape of the jet pack, but a sort of tune or feel that inspired the design below:



Furthermore, this horse skull was a quite useful reference, both for textures and shape. Even you can't see the horse skull in the final drawing, it's there...

  2. That is NEAT!!!
    And I've been watching your videos trying techniques like how you blocking in 'Work in Progress 2" with a thick brush. I find it helps me to get the overall feel of my sketches.
    Thanks!

  5. What a fun design! I always love seeing people take different opposing objects and tying them together just like how you used the shape of a horse head to inspire an airship. Wonderful!
