Prometheus

Hi,
After over a year-long blog hiatus I have managed to finish something, along with Jake, that is noteworthy and, more importantly, completed. This piece is a collaboration that started about 3 weeks ago and was worked on in the spare time that Jake and I had. It's largely an 80s manga throwback (think Crying Freeman). We thought, "Wouldn't it be cool if Otomo or Ikegami did a poster for Prometheus? What would it look like?" This is the result. We hope that you like it.

 Jake worked on the ship while I worked on the top & bottom portions of the piece.

Some details of the pencils. 

 
As I was drawing this piece I thought that maybe all
of those years of obsessing over Jean Giraud's art finally paid off.
This is a tribute to him, in a way. RIP Moebius.

Here's an isolated shot of the bottom portion of the poster.


As always,
Thank you for your support.

More to come. Get ready.
