“Jo’feen’s Ship” [work in progress #3]

‘Yep, another update.. and a name this time! It’s a bit of a spoiler, which is strange given that I haven’t even written the bit of the novel where this spoiler is revealed…

I’ve tweaked a few colours, added some texture and some raypunk labelling which I hope puts the work into a much clearer context. Barring any further tweaks to the ship’s design or epiphanies on the colour scheme, I think all I have left to do is map the Bellen in profile, and come up with some sort of Ynsharr Industries emblem.’

“Jo’feen’s Ship” [work in progress #2]

‘This is the second update from a piece of work I explained in greater detail right here.

I’ve now added a colour scheme, much more in the way of furnishings, and some patterns. The scheme may appear a tad bold: this is part of the raypunk aesthetic I have in mind for the Median project. These colours are actually based on a pulp magazine cover, which I leaned on mostly because I’ve never actually used such a bold scheme before. As ever with this NaNoWriMo project, I’m learning at some pace!’

Jo’feen[Work in Progress]

‘I’m quite pleased with how character sketching has gone so far - though I can lay no claim to a sound anatomical knowledge, having somewhat lifted the upper body torso from reference. Still, the objective is not to practice anatomy or produce a truly original artwork, but merely to draw.

I’m deeply absorbed in my NaNoWriMo project at the moment, which is set in the world of Median, which I devised a couple of years ago. Jo’feen is the protagonist of a story I’m writing in this space, entitled Frontier. In the context of the game, she is a Tellerian explorer: human-basic, but clearly too human in this piece. I intend to bulk this up now with more alien nuances, and much more of a raypunk vibe, too.’
