Rough head concept for the Rithalo. Might be an original species.

Your mechanical drawing is very nice. It reminds me of the doodles my brother use to draw with such straight, sharp edges and lines. I am always envious as my lines are always curvey..

There are some very interesting designs in the mix. Great illustration concepts and landscapes. I think you have a great future in conceptual designs. .. I am really curious what would happen on a tablet/digital.

Thanks for the reply! Unfortunately, I don’t have any plans to buy a drawing tablet in the near future. Not sure how well I’d be able to work without the friction between pencil and paper - might give it a try though.

And hell naw, your art is miles better than mine. I’m just a hobbyist who occasionally sketches stuff.

I never considered the paper texture, but your right, there is a difference there. either way i think your traditional art is very good.

I am and ok artist but my landscapes and technical work like this are just not up to par. Different talents for different people Also I am a hobby artist too lol i just.. sketch every day anymore because it keeps me calm and give me something to do.

Some more Elite: Dangerous stuff.
