Stages Sunday!

Sharing a couple of WIP files today for “Stages Sunday”. Sometimes, i forget how influential artist Jim Burns how I imagine spaceships from other worlds or in the distant future. His designs almost always looked elegant, organic and suggested some unimaginable technology.

I used an old iDough model exported as a .obj file and used simple round brushes to further “sculpt” the rasterized model in Photoshop CC. It’s a fun and intuitive way of working. Back in the early 90s, it would have taken me at least a few hours just to mask out the shapes and set up my airbrush to make something like this.
