A plane flying in a world where the sky looks familiar and yet no-so-familiar (maybe not unlike a view of Saturn from the cloud top of Titan). Recognize the colony in the background? Ran out of ideas there and had to reuse some old stuffs.

I like ur use of canard wings on the craft in this.

:-) H. Ching replies: "Hahaha! Canards are normally more efficient than tailplanes."

If that is done in pencil that is .... well, awesome would be understating it by miles! *gazes at the clouds*

Call me whacky, but the shuttle reminds me of an Ornithopter from Dune 1 what I always pictured them to be, anyway...

lovely pic!

:-) H. Ching replies: "Is there an ornithopter in Dune? I've drawn ornithopters before, and they look nothing like this. Hahaha!"

I love the effects you can create with pencil and shading! Great background and wonderful work on the clouds and the colony. You have a great knowledge of shading and shadow that really make this piece come to life. Great work!

:-) H. Ching replies: "Thank you!"

OOOOooooooooo......Wow you have such a unique style and I love it! I like how you made the planet and the clouds all look far away and brought the focus onto the spaceship. most people would have made them in equal values but this way you focus on the spaceship then see the rest as an afternote....
