Description Just a concept sketch. I'll be rendering this in colour with Photoshop later so look out for that.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

If you feel like it, I think the big turbos would be hard but fun to colour Trying to get the shines and hues n all.

Yes that is probably the hardest part about aircraft painting, the shine has to be just right otherwise it doesn't look authentic.

Aye you could do that but what if you couldn't find the right reference to use the colour picker on? Look at ctrlpaint and he shows you a good way to improve colour selection.

Not saying you should copy colour for colour! There's gotta be a less restrictive way. Just look at pictures of similar things and get a feel for how the light works, maybe by turning them monochrome so the colours are less distracting. Good luck anyway!

Hey now! This looks really awesome Pete! I'm really liking your vehicle designs for their unique originality. This particular vehicle reminds me of one of the race cars in Wacky Races. Nice work mate.

Thanks for the kind words Sham .

These designs really just sort of pop into my head and I just draw them on paper. I had a thought about a tribe of little cartoon like goblins that had a whole village built upon a giant dodo that they rode around on. There were ropes going from the beak to the back where a little driver sat, platforms running around the bird's flanks with ladders every few feet to make getting around the village easier. If that wasn't enough they spend considerable time on the side platforms with nets trying to catch bugs for food, it's either than or they absale down to the ground to forage for food though in the first method they can catch food on the move.

So yea that is roughly...what I think about. Worried? Wouldn't blame you if you were .

Hope I din't freak you out with my weird and wonderful imagination .

Cheers.

Well it's game day tomorrow, what side have your lot got? I don't know who West Ham are playing but I'm pretty sure we'll loose .

Oh sweet that'll be ok then. Swansea had a good manager but now he is managing Liverpool who won last night against Hearts...Hurray sort of .

Please beat stoke I can't stand that place! Shame that RVP went to Man Utd but Arsenal have got plenty of god players to replace him. Good luck tomorrow.

Ha I'd like to say we'll win tomorrow but Stoke are a tough team to play against especially on their ground and I feel betrayed by RVP's departure to United but ah well life goes on, I think we'll do better without him this season and even so its good we sold him this season and made a profit than if he saw out his contract and left as a free agent so I suppose this cloud had a silver lining. I think you guys should be okay against Swansea. Liverpool have got City on Sunday too. I expect City will win but I think Liverpool will give them a game tho. Have to wait and see what happens but should be a good game Good luck to you guys too.

Thanks dude. Me and my dad are going to see Colchester v Sheffield Utd today so that should be cool. I'll have to wait to see how the irons get on though they may pull off a good win with luck.

RVP is getting on a bit in years so perhaps letting him go and bringing some new fresh talent to the fore would be great.
