Landspeeder

Many years ago, I did this little image, and have to admit, it resonated with me. umspeeder.jpg

Ever since, I have been wanting to do another one, but never got around to doing it. Anyways, I did do up a new one, sans colour...:P

Very very cool, it'd be hard to tell this apart from a picture from a codex.

 

A little niggle though... the 'burst' from the heavy bolter looks a little unrealistic at the base of the explosion, all jagged-y.

That's a very nice start! Adding that second speeder is also a good idea. As far as the background color goes, I'd definitely stick with the warmer pallette you seem to be leaning towards already. If I were you, I'd intensify some of the background areas by pulling in some of the colors you have going on in the exhaust plume.

Also, I realize you aren't finished or anything, but I'd suggest that you deepen the shadows toward the back of the speeder, gradually getting lighter as you come forward to the nose. I think it will help you give more of a feeling of forward motion as the eye is drawn toward the front of the speeder.

Here is a quick example of what I'm suggesting. Perhaps it's a bit too cartoonish for what is (so far) a very reserved shading and color scheme? I'm in no way trying to take this project away from you, but to merely show you what I mean since I'm not sure my explanation alone would suffice to communicate what I'm trying to suggest.

Again, great work so far. I've never bothered to post in one of your threads, but always enjoy seeing your work when you share it with us. <_<
