It's been a while, but it feels good to be drawing again! Here's some WIP shots of a request I'm currently working on.

6 Feb 2013 Had a week off on this, but I've nearly finished, just a few details and general cleanup to do. I might leave it a bit rough though.

Holy frak, I've admired your stuff from afar for quite some time now, pretty brilliant to see you in action!

JawaStu

Thanks guys, it's good to be back! I'm just warming up, hopefully I can sustain this burst of inspiration! :D

Tusserk

Ho-ly schnizzle!! This is where I've gotta push past the feeling of 'omg I should never even try to do droids ever' and turn it into 'IF I NEVER TRY I HAVE NO CHANCE OF COMING CLOSE TO THIS'.

Inspiring to the point of intimidation. So dang good!

JawaStu

Oh no! Don't be intimidated Tusserk! :-o Droids aren't that difficult really, in fact, I think I actually find them easier than organic characters sometimes because it's easier to highlight and shade flat planes and hard edges. Throw in some vaguely engineered joints and blend some metallic gradients and you're all set! :) I hope you'll give them a go, they're actually a lot fun to design.

I have to side with Tuss on this one, Stu... I have such a dang hard time with straight lines!
