50 Fathoms: Blades of the Burning Sea

I found an old sketch I did for 50 Fathoms. Just a thumbnail that never got turned into anything. Now it has. This took about 3 days - done in Photoshop Cs5 on a 21Ux Cintiq

50 Fathoms: New Kieran City

On top of everything else, I'm still working on the color update of 50 Fathoms. One aspect of my old work that I really don't like was the cityscapes. Buildings were (and are) not my strong suit. Rather than work on everything else and save the cities to the last minute, this week I decided to tackle them head-on.

Tonight I started work on the capital city of the Kieran empire. Here is the original piece from 50 Fathoms, Some "works in progress", And a close up detail - I'll be updating this post as I make more progress.

------ UPDATE 2-17 ----------

------ UPDATE 2-18 ----------

------ UPDATE 3-3 FINAL ----------

I realized I had too many tiers on Keira (and that it's important to go back to the original text and not depend on spotty memory about something you worked on 8 years ago)

Merry Yog!

I'm thinking this might make a good Yog-stmas card
