I wasn't going to post any of these until they were all finished, but I am forcing my own hand to a certain extent. There has been a beautiful image appear on the internet, and, while not like these, there is a link. I don't want to be accused of plagiarism, so here are my preliminary sketches (done on my first duty day at the Choose Yourself exhibition). I will actually get off my arse and hopefully finish some of these properly this afternoon, and there will only be six in the series instead of the planned nine (although they may come later, if they will just stop morphing in my head and on paper). They should all have been finished already, but it has been a very busy few weeks, so they have crept along. I am about ready to add colour to the finished pieces, so it shouldn't take long.

These sketches are linked to a post I am writing about Steampunk and cultural imperialism.
I don't know that anyone will really care, and I am probably just being paranoid, but, hey, what does it hurt to cover your arse once in a while?
Valid butt-covering, and charming work. Looking forward to seeing the finished pieces!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mark. They are coming along okay. Hope to have the first one up in a day or so.
Deletenot going to finish them today. I don't want to rush this.
