Now on to the show. I didn't actually know where a lot of my sketches are from when I was at home so I'll just upload those as I find them in or on my bags/floor. In the mean time I'm going to try and pump out a set of concept art and hopefully a few illustrations for my project 'Robin Hunter'.
Robin Hunter is a concept art project that retells the story of little red riding hood (with creative license) in the way I envision it. Right now I'm working on the main character Rebbeca Burnhart, nickname is Robin with the call sign Little Red. She is a mercenary fighter pilot turned courier with an time sensitive mission to deliver a vital package to grandmother that could change the tide in a hot war at the teetering point! This story is full of conspiracy, danger, and betrayal! =P
My process is pretty haphazard right now as I read and reread the Grimm tale and jot down ideas. I think I've settled that the world is going to be something like a 'Sky Captain and The World of Tomorrow' aesthetic. Still debating what level of technology the world will be and if I want to mix any magic in the world. I am leaning really heavily toward a sort of world war two heavy propaganda war town industrial feeling.
Robins reference images are all over the place, from hours jockeys, motorbikes, fighter pilots, Swat and army body armor, space suits, and snowboarding gear.
Her plane is currently being inspired by the American thunderbolt xp-47H and p-47 thunderbolt aircraft. As well as various 1940-60's sports cars and some modern motorcycles for curves. Trying to find a cool sleek look that doesn't get to much into higher fi visuals. But who knows I just started thinking and sketching down ideas for the project five hours ago.
Some of the photo reference I'm looking at. I'm really digging the back-end cockpit with the motor and stuff on a rise in the front. Along with the swoopy wheel wells.
That's it for now, I need to get back to drawing instead of maken this. Thanks for reading! =D
