Dieselpunk in the works

A small detail previewing a just-about-completed experiment into "purpose-made" Dieselpunk art. Purpose-made as opposed to an illustration containing visual elements that someone might describe these days as being Dieselpunk, though such a reference would exist entirely by coincidence. For more background on this notion see earlier post "On The Effects of Discovering Deiselpunk, et al."

I like how its coming along (now) though initially it was a struggle. Ah but what fun! The full-size, finished illustration will measure about 14 inches wide by 8 inches high.

Premiere of First Dieselpunk Work

Image
Yay, so I am back from the MileHiCon 43 Science Fiction Convention art show in Denver, where my full size (12 x18) premiere of Dieselpunk work sold right out of the gate! Sniff, and I was getting attached too...the sucker took me about 45 hours to complete! Not easy when you have a full time day job, raising a family, blah blah. Though the 12 x 18 (modestly framed) is in an edition of forty, I will only have those available through shows. Online (Etsy, etc) I have created  a series of smaller prints (image reduced + cropped) from the full size...here is a low resolution peek at one of those versions.

Pulp Practice

Image
This poster was a study I put together spoofing the old 50's/60's Science Fiction movies. It is a digital collage intended for learning/practicing putting together the visual elements and saturated illustration styles of that type of pop culture images. In this case it was in the context of (again, lampoon of) a "political" statement. I was hoping to see if I could discover what it was that made those posters and pulp covers look/feel the way they did in regards to the viewer. I was basically happy with how it turned out. Note that this learning project/image uses materials that are copyrighted by their respective owners and were used solely for educational purposes.

Works in progress

Some assemblage sculptures that I am reworking into updated, new lives as they become elements of  various digital collage/illustration projects. As usual, each piece is simply a visual record of things and events which took place in the secret world beyond our own...of this I can say no more! Detail of the Quantum Diver mechanism. About 10 inches tall. Captain Zerkiah's escape from the Black Pit. About 9 inches tall.  Detail showing a miniature map of the continent where the famed escape took place. This post has been edited.
