Kyten, landed

This illustration was based on a combination of Eyvind Earle's snowscapes- (warm white sunlit planes of snow against turquoise sky tinted shadow) with abstract geometrical value color composition- strong sharp diagonals, triangles. I wanted to take those disparate ideas and produce an airship vehicle illustration where the color balance and composition was the drive, not the design of the vehicle itself.

Final piece. The darker background of the comp is better so I may revisit.

Roughing in detail. Fast to slow, big brush to small, messy to tight. Retaining the brush texture of Rebelle 7.
