Thanks Topo. I like the stuff you've been doing lately as well. For me going back to acrylics after being loss in oils is a nice breather!

Here's the final version of Floyd.

Nice. The wings will be a biatch as they usually are but if a person chooses not to skip out on them I find the efforts are usually worthy. I just came across a couple of winged sketches/concepts not to long ago....then I think I buried them again.

The "wings" are very weird and organic on my design (to my own frustration). I think I redrew the basic geometry like 7 times for each one.

What types of textures are you considering for them?

I was thinking of metal.

awesome good perspective

Metal is the go to texture for something like this for sure. But have you thought of maybe adding a twist on it? (not to confuse with twisted metal, hah).

Have you ever looked at olmec temples/statues? The carvings and shapes they produce?

I don't want to intrude on your vision of this piece as your it's creator, just a suggestion. The wings as you've designed them almost seem like the could be bio-mechanical, or steampunk even.

Hey nice idea!
Some stone texture sure would look interesting!

Hah, you can thank these two pieces I did for the suggestion:



One was from my studies of Olmec/aztec stuff in Art history and the other was from my love of Kung Fu ficks and a heavy dose of Avatar: T.L.A episodes!

BTW, I have this at home



In fact "the clean look" of my pencils is my mimic of Avatar's style

Nice! I don't know if I can pull off "clean". That's not really my thing....obviously, hahaha.
