Latest Update: Work In Progress: Cu Chulaind


#2

Some scratchings from my note pad - while I should have been writing a Research Proposal!


#3

Roughing out the scooter/bike for a composition test…


#4

Basic Cu Chulaind added…one more figure to go for test then hopefully into the work itself…having just completed my research proposal :wink:


#5

Started working on the “SteamHoverBike” still the gears, aiming device and a few odd and sods to go…


#6

Looks like a good start…but what is your myth or legend?


#7

Cu Chulaind (also spelt CuChulaind, Cu Chulain, CuChulaind, Cu Chulainn and probably a few others ways as well) was an Old Irish hero. I believe that the character Slaine of 2000AD fame is based on him. Anyway he was a dude killing, raiding, getting the girl etc.

Rather than illustrate one of his exploits in terms of making everything steampunk I thought I would reincarnate him into the future…so rather than riding a horse he is riding a steam powered hoverbike…and will be in the midst of rescuing “the girl”…who probably doesn’t need rescuing.
