Spacecraft of My Childhood

Post by Alerik the Fortunate »

Because I completely suck at all things digital picturey and because it's late, I'm just going to link to the Deviant Art site holding my current gallery. I was going to use photobucket, but it has a permanent allergy to my computer. I may try to insert some thumbnails directly later, but I'm not having any success right now. I would appreciate any comments on improving image quality and generally anything else, too.

These are the surviving drawings that I could locate of the vessels plying the sci-fi worlds of my mind from childhood until about 5 years ago. Several important phases are underrepresented due to destruction or to them remaining mostly in my imagination. They are numbered in approximately chronological order. I think I will follow with my extremely scarce surviving original aircraft, as soon as I can get them scanned.

So, you know that you can totally rotate all those drawings before you post them right? Pretty cool though.

It was late and I didn't bother with fixing things at the time.

Cool stuff man, especially considering the age (most people at that age aren't drawing like that.) Hell, at that age, I was still drawing Dragon Ball and dinosaurs. :D

Very nice makes me wish that I had kept up my drawing but after almost 25 years of not drawing what talent I had is now gone. Don't let that happen keep praticing

Bull and Shit. It is a skill. If you used to be able to draw, you still can. Like any skill though, you have to knock the rust off. I didn't draw for about 10 years and when I started again, everything sucked. It took only a few intense days of just like, "OH YEAH! That's how you draw that!", to get back in the swing.

Maybe, guess I'll might have to drag out my stuff and see if I can nock off my rust then. Granted 25 years of rust is a bit to nock off.
But still keep praticing and improving.
