This has been an incredibly busy summer, but the weather her in Burbank, California has been great. After some careful scanning and digital clean-up, several of the designs from my Heavy Experimental Military Platform (HXMP) series have gotten a dash of color and rendering in Photoshop. These big girl-inspired machines draw a lot from my fascination with 80s Japanese robot model kit illustrations. Most were exercises in freehand inking with Microns and technical pens. It has been fun to test my hand-eye coordination and discipline. For example, I still have an unfortunate preference for drawing straight lines freehand instead of using a straight edge.
The final booklet turned out great! Below are some spreads and a shot of the cover.
