Sketchbook: Airplane Edition

Alright, welcome to yet another series I've simply named Sketchbook. As the name may imply, these are just scans straight out of my book once every other month that aren't complete nonsense. These were all done over my holiday break on the plane. This first one was a request from a friend at work for a basic design for a tattoo. She wanted an old-school deep sea diver, but I thought that would be too plain so I suggested a more dynamic scene. Thus, the squid was born. The intent for this was to give her a really good foundation so her tattoo artist could modify it for scale and style.

This next one was an impromptu sketch of the people on the plane. I opened my book with the intention to draw a fairly realistic and detailed scene, but it was dark and I was crazy tired from travelling and visiting family. It eventually turned into a quick sketch that I decided to pound out in two or three minutes and reward myself with a good sleep.

This last one I did during my short connecting flight. I had been playing Skyrim in my spare time before the trip, which led to me thinking about Fallout 3 and the nuclear apocalypse setting and the destruction associated with it. I knew I wanted to have the perspective the way it was, but abandoned the complete devastation of nuclear weapons and settled for a bombed out area.

I hope you enjoyed it and I'll definitely be throwing up some other posts on project updates.
