Description
A bounty-hunter stops briefly for a sip of fresh air.for the "blob-ship" contest over at .
I was pretty unsure with the theme at first, but then I just took "blob" in the sense of lumpy, clunky and well rather ugly, and here it is!

do you ever sketch before you digitally paint? or does a nice wacom cintiq really make a difference?

no, mostly I keep the mediums separated. although I would like to render more than a few of my sketches digitally, I dont really have a good camera
actually I use the trust wide screen design tablet

Impressive, how do you come up with all these unique shapes and compositions?

hey thanx!
Hard to say, although I like to try out weird shapes and then try to make them work

Then i ask the other way round... where do you get your inspiration from?
I am burning to hear your answer

again, hard to say
There are so many things you dont even think about that shapes your sense of design. But I've always been very inspired by Michael Kutsche (and of course many, many other artists)

Never heard of him (shame on me) indeed that`s one very inspiring artist!

Hey Marcus, nice to see you taking part in the rounds again. Since I love grungy concepts, I was heavily biased towards this piece.
Have a great week.

I love some of the things here, including the brushwork on the ground surface, but careful when rendering rounded objects, they get a shadow in a certain area, and you missed that, so your top part of the ship looks flat
Also there's no perspective here, and it's strange to see all horizontal lines almost parallel, which also makes things flat
Cheers!

thanx, im glad you like it!
and thanx for the crit, Im painfully aware of the perspective situation, but I hadn't thought of the blimp shadow.

The sky is really nice, dusty sort of, gives a nice feeling to the setting of the "blob" ^^ Reminds me of Mexico. The guy's wearing a sombrero and poncho, I assume

thank you very much!
yup, thatsa poncho, altough the hat is more of a www.wallacewiki.com/david-fost… kind of thing

Love the silhouette of the ship, really catches the eye.
And I second the thumbs up on the horse decal, helps tie together the whole futuristic western vibe you've got going here.
Nice entry, good luck in the contest!

cool, thanx!
good luck to you as well!

I love this. 
The one criticism I have of this piece is the horse decal on the hull - it seems out of place. I suppose a stylish, graceful decal on such an awkward blob of a ship could be taken as ironic, but I'm just not quite feeling it. Still, the piece overall looks great and I love the design very much. Great work!

thanx
it's how a Bountyhunter who loves his ship might decorate it. Despite apperances, to him she's a gracefull and majestic steed

I see - in that context, I can appreciate the decal. Thanks for clearing that up!

The horse decal works for me, the dude is wearing a cowboy hat and a poncho after all.
Nice work

True - there's a definite Clint Eastwood look to both features, but that's never been my preferred genre. Everybody will find their own favorite aspects, I'm sure - and you know a piece of concept art is good when it gets everybody imagining different stories behind it!
