Coastal Study

A few more of these to post, along with some sketches and DS work done in Wales, but here's the first. Refined later from plein-air.

Bedouin Punk: Voyage of the Sand Maiden

A little fun continuing a theme I started while testing Colors! 3DS which I tagged "Bedouin Punk", for the sake of a mini project title. I'm not a fan of splitting general sub genres into further fragments (it feels pretentious enough in music), but the project name is more about the mood and aesthetic in my head, rather than my attempting another derivative of Cyberpunk/Steampunk. There's too many of them already, and I'm not a fan of the current aesthetic of basically sticking a few cogs on something and calling it Steampunk. That's not how it works!

Anyway, this Bedouin Punk theme I have in my head is at least interesting enough for me to call it a "project" and so give it a name. I guess I'll return to some of the ideas I have later - no doubt in a sporadic fashion. But for now sky ships are always cool, so I'm just riffing. :)
