A New Project

Edit: I've redrawn the mining tower. I drew up a bird-like riding animal, and after I realized how much it reminded me of the Roadrunner, I had to draw a desert background. The next two pictures are a riding/pack animal in two versions. Also, the camel-dino picture now has some color.

I've been thinking about doing some kind of illustration project for a while now, and it's gaining some momentum. I've decided to do a story about a planet I invented for a SW RPG campaign - Moridia - but I'm taking it out of the realm of Star Wars. I've got a few sketches so far.

The first is just a practice landscape, to get a sense of scale and perspective (since I've done so little work with this kind of thing).

The second is a llama-like pack animal.

The third is a mining tower, sort of like a sandcrawler.

And the fourth/fifth is a trader taking his wares across the desert on his dino-camel pack animal (I drew it with and without hadrosaur crest, still can't decide which I like better).

I'm still in the phase of concepting, so not everything has names yet. :P
