Rucker 13

This is an idea I have. I created it as a Steampunk motorcycle, but it turned out to be more Art Deco than anything. The sketch is a rare glimpse into my pocket sketchbook. Not because it’s a mysterious enigmatic repository for my deepest secrets, but more because I usually draw at my desk or in my larger sketchpad. I carry the pocket sketchpad just in case I have an idea. It’s also a place to park quotes I find interesting and my grocery list.

I enjoy drawing mechanical objects a lot. I like to imagine how systems fit together and what they look like. In this case, I was more concerned with the systems than the overall look (hence, Art Deco vs. Steampunk).

I love steampunk. I am going to invest in a steampunk costume some day. The Lines & Light show closing party is a costume event and it would have been ideal. Living in Atlanta, you’d be surprised how many events require alternate attire to fit in. I would surely get some mileage from it.

I used the new backdrop technique again. This time, the character is interacting with it. I am really enjoying the merging of all these new techniques I am trying. So far, there isn’t anything not working in one way, shape or form.
