Airship- UPDATED

I did a little messing around with these models, rendered then smoke and cheezy laser in Painter.

I need to stop rendering and finish the models

Patrick, these are really nice work. Thank you for sharing. I like the one with the Roger Dean painting.

While I was looking for Roger Dean art I came across something I hadn't heard of.

The Supossed non-credited connection between the art of Roger Dean and the look of the film Avatar.

Very interesting. I haven't seen the movie yet but I have wondered for a long time when someone would do a film that had a Dean-esque look to it. I always admired his work. When I was in high school i experimented with a technique he used of spraying oil based paints on to water standing on watercolor paper. When the water evaporated, the paint would create an interesting pattern on the paper. If you hit the water hard with the spray paint, the water would be displaced so you could get spots where the paint went on differently. Neat effect. I used to use it for skies and water backgrounds for subjects that were drawn or painted by hand. Now with a scanner in the house, it would be a way to get some unique background images for things like your airships.

Sort of but I never did all of that. I just made the background with the spray paint. the rest was done with other media.

I've seen that before but thanks for linking to it. It's a goof thing to see once in awhile.
