If you weren't already aware, Girl By Moonlight's Backerkit launched! You should check it out. I have been given the go ahead to add my Girl by Moonlight work to my portfolio. In the coming weeks I'll be trickling out some of my work that's been used in the promotional materials for the setting I illustrated, On a Sea of Stars like this image that functions sort of like the title page/intro to this setting.
You can see these two pieces in the promotional materials for Girl By Moonlight. On the left was the first Leviathan I designed for the project, designed to really show the scale of these things. Obviously Gunbuster's aliens are a big influence on my approach to their form as well as deep sea organisms. With The Last Bastion space station (right) I'm drawing a bit more, visually, on the shapes of ships in the OVA trilogy Gall Force, where they cover their ships in these large spiky antennae. You may also notice what I refer to as my "sherbet palette" coming out. I use a lot of greens, magentas and oranges and almost never use anything even approaching indigo or cold purples. I wanted my pieces in the book to be able to be clocked on first glance with colour alone.
