Santana's Spaceship requested by @aggroed!
Good Day!
I'm here to share to you guys how that 'awesome' spaceship there was made! Boss @aggroed commissioned me to make a spaceship - steampunk style - like that from Tank Girl. I did the best I could!
You can actually go to @aggroed's page and look for Nagan VII stories, tagged #cryptopunk, here are some posts:
- Nagan VII: Sir Peach's Name Day, Chapter 2 (My artwork was used here)
- Nagan VII- Cyborgian blue Chapter 2 episode 2.
- Nagan VII Crimson Wedding (Chapter 2 Episode 3)
I highly suggest to bookmark that trending link in case you'd like to keep track of the stories he will write. As of the moment there's no new story posted under #cryptopunk but I'm sure there will be more!
Enjoy the process post!
Everything started out with a concept sketch:
Santana's Awesome Ride
I presented it to the boss and he said it could work, just needs the details to be more 'steampunk'. I started working out the sketches on a Monologue sketchbook , drafted things in pencil, and chose a unique perspective to show that the ship is taking flight (dunno if it worked). I used Uni Pin ink pens and ink and brush to draw and point.
Here's my hand working the brush:
And here's the same hand using an ink pen (lol):
I'm not real good with perspective drawings, I have forgotten the basics for that, I just sketched it right away, the helm was actually skewed a bit so I just tried to fix it when I digitalized the image.
Here's the first step: Coloring the background:
I tried playing with it as well:
I even tried adding a background in the image but I keep failing at editing it into the drawing - pretty hard to do stuff without Photoshop and while using just a mouse. I settled for a plain grey background.
Here's the ship with rocket booster flames:
Thanks for viewing my work! Cheers!
I've considered this as a #steemgigs post in support of @steemgigs and @surpassinggoogle, cause I have offered my skills and received rewards in Steem/SBD.

It looks superb! I just use GIMP as an editor....works fine but maybe a bit more time consuming (and i also work just with the mouse).

Thank you so much! I haven't tried GIMP again - did it like 4 years or 5 years ago? But i had photoshop back then so i preferred using PS.

Thanks @enjar! This was actually a super delayed post. I've made this weeks ago and never had the time to post the process. I was waiting for @aggroed to use it first, however since we don't get notifications about mentions at all (we need that, someone please add that as a feature here or somewhere), I didn't see the post he made when it was still active. i just found out about his post today haha (and it was posted like 11 days ago!).
It's a good read, it has real people from Steemit inserted in it too.

Yep, let's hope we get that. I’ve even suggested in a few posts where people put ideas in that they would like to see on Steemit. It really should show things up like that in our replies tab.

It should. I guess they added it into browser notifications - but that doesn't work at all. Those notifications just pop-up then disappear - no list or way to backtrack them. Isn't there a Steem tool for this?

I see. I am aware of that app - haven't used it though. Maybe I'll use it for the notifications part. If I like it, I'll use it as my main app too. :) But on desktops, I guess I have to bear with it till a solution comes along. Thank you so much for the share @enjar.

I don't use it myself and have the same issue as you. I just know people love it so I hope it has that feature as people are somehow finding out when they get tagged. Those people for all I know are just using that app as they get upvote some times from it as well.

I did hear about that feature too. Same with chainbb - where you get upvotes on the post you make there - but there's a cut on the earnings you have too. It's alright - I'm just not a fan of the forum look.
