Thanx zweiDee,

I checked your sketchbook link, great stuff dude. I do conceptual art aswell.

Cheers :)

[mim-Armand]

I vote for Vertical Parking too! it's really funny and innovative man! I can imagine a great piece of that from now if you did it as expected from ur sketch! :)

Goodluck,
mim, :thumbsup:

[SteevieWoo]

Hi your sketches are good!!

I'd go with the fish/astronaut one, the design is simple and adorable.... it would stand up among so many heavy compositions!

Aww the parked truck! that would give you a neat opportunity for lighting! plus damn wacky!

I'll be seen which one you pick.........

[element5]

@mim-Armand - Thanx for popping by 2nd vote for the vertical parking, might have to go with that one.

@SteevieWoo - Hiya, I do like the Astronaut and fish too. But looks like you like the V-parking also so the votes have it.

Vertical parking it is, i will start developing it. Cheers all.

Hi guys and gals, I have come up with a new idea. Dogfighting butterflys.....i thought of something harmless and placed them in World War 2.....lol

Ok here is the colour version, I have 3 contries represented....Germany, America and England.

Hey Mark, very cool ideas and nice sketches!! :thumbsup: I like a lot your UFO idea, really funny!! :D

Thanx for popping over and having a look.... I do like doing cartoon cars. I am going to go with the latest concept....with the butterfly(red baron) and the moths in a Dogfight high above the back lawn....:)

I have been playing with position of the red barron butterfly and size of other elements. I feel happy with the progress sofar.

[abscnth]

Excellent stuff Mark, I was impressed with all of your original sketches you clearly have a good eye for humour!. I think the dogfight is a strong concept but I liked the impression of scale that the flower gave in your earlier sketch, are you dropping the flower or is it coming back?

One last point - PLEASE finish the vertical parking idea some day - cracking!

All the best my friend

I went out and took some photos in the garden. Did like this background....cleaned it up a bit and blurred the horizon. I took the bomber and small one to the right out....dont think they are needed.

[OKMER]

Hehehe buddy,nice to see you're in again!!!Totaly madness in here, just love your totaly disturbed ideas!!!Got a weak for the icelicking tank,....huge madness!!!(NO, this is Sparta,i hear you say):grin:
CAn't wait to see your next steps!THat butterfly pic also got a lot of potential!
Yep well later Mark!!!Cheers:beer: :beer:

[MDN67]

very good idea and very good paint, i love the concept good job

[Ferx]

Hey Mark, nice update man!! :thumbsup: I think perhaps a small flowers or more far from the butterflys action, only a comment. Again nice job mate!! :D

[mdavid]

That's a really cool idea - the gun-fire looks beautifully out of context coming from those critters. I also liked your parking idea, but this butterfly image looks like an excellent choice. At the moment they all have their wings fully open. Does that mean that they are 'fixed-wing' butterflies or do you intend them to be of the regular flapping variety?

[Gord-MacDonald]

Fighter Butterflys - great idea:thumbsup:

Hiya all, Today I have done some more detail on the red baron and Have placed an exploding moth hitting the plant. I keep moving the centre tiger moth around....i think it sits well where it is :-)

[element5]

Hiya all,

Great to see u guys here :thumbsup:

OKMER ...Thanx I try to do something different diturbing is good...hehe
MDN67 ...Cheers i hope u like the update.
Ferx ... I may put another flower in closer to the action....will see how it developes.
mdavid ...Thanx would be weird to see little critter like this with weapons.....could be a good concept for a lan game...hehe. Yes these are fixed winged, not sure i could get my head around moving parts....lol
Gord-MacDonald ... thanx Gord :)

Hiya all, Been busy and finally finished the image to my satisfaction.

I did enjoy this concept, Butterflies and Moths in a battle at the bottom of the yard.

Cheers
Mark

[Liuba]
