Final lineart for the remaining 3 airships. Thinking of using a Yellow/Black/Brown color scheme for the chunky one, like a flying construction truck. What do you think? #airship #steampunk #pencilart

Industrialization and human labor. Is one thing becoming more like the other? I wanted to combine the human figure with a factory like machine to create an unsettling cover for this book. Colors coming next! #bookcover #illustration #sketch #steampunk #illustrator

What do you think of the final color choices? I tried a more dull palette to merge the visuals of machines & humans. Unsure if it became too de-saturated. Cover art done for book that explores industrialization and human labor. #illustration #bookcover #steampunk

A unique compass that can navigate the underdark and guide the holder to treasures. What do you think of this design? One of the most complicated thing I had to draw lol! #steampunkart #clockworkdesign #pencilsketch

A steam-powered expandable drill design. I like the black & white sketch alot more. Designing mech stuff is really fun for me, but I feel I could have done better on this. I think the lineart wasn't clean enough making the colored finish too muddy looking. #conceptart #steampunk

A new drill truck design. Was going for a design that looks like it can twist and turn underground while it drills picks up and process the dirt, spraying it behind the truck as it moves. What do you think? #conceptart #sketch #steampunkart

"Happy" Miner. Concept was to juxtapose the reality of working in the mines with the company's propaganda. For miners that lost an arm, the contraption fits them with a drill-hand. Described as a benefit by the company, but I designed it like a cage that they can't escape from.

The BFD, a building size megadrill. A bright color body would be cool to see caked in dirt. Thought? The drill follows the tracks down, then a 2nd track-laying cart slides down to extend the tracks allowing the drill to go further. #vehicledesign #conceptart #sketchbook

Finally some creature art! What do you think? Giant mole rat lives in the mining tunnels. Had ideas about different versions for the miners to encounter, ones with a rabies-like plague, and a giant den-mother nursing its young. #conceptart #monsterdesign #creaturedesign

I call them Splinters! A ball of gear and spikes that unroll into a mech rat to run at pursuers, they eventually scatter into caltrops. Does the visual clearly communicate the concept? #steampunk #conceptart

REBEL VAN design. Aiming for a DIY look, made from scraps and spare parts. I think I can make it a bit more haphazard and rugged, what do you think? #ImperialSteamAndLight #Sketch #ConceptArt
