Hi everyone . I am currently working on this image and thought I could get some feed back as I haven't ever done an image like this before. I'm doing an image
about a steam engine type airship. It is based in a town 30 minutes from where I live in England called Iron bridge. Perspective is something I wanted to tackle. Would love to know your thoughts.

Wonderful project! Love it already!

Awesome! I love the concept and the line work!

It looks to me like you are either cutting too much off of the main balloon or not enough.

I think you should look at either making it so it all fits in the frame, or expanding the main ship & balloon even larger so that more of the balloon disappears.

I've always been drawn to these types of images so I'm excited to see the results!

I think the balloon needs to be bigger- not in a "try for scientific accuracy" way, just to sell the idea that it can lift the ship (which appears to be metal). They're pretty close to the same size, if the balloon was about twice the size of the ship it would break the overall design into thirds... the perspective looks great, the layout for the backgrounds totally works with objects poking out of the clouds, it looks like lots of fun

[Lee Holland]

@Russ-Van-Dine Thanks Russ

@mattramsey @leontine @tyler-blake @russ-van-dine Thank you for the comments. I will definitely have a look at making the size of the balloon bigger. I'll post an update in the next day or two.

Love it, the composition is really dynamic and it's definitely going to be an exciting piece! I also love that you have Ironbridge as a focal point in the background

[Lee Holland]

@Dulcie Thank you Dulcie.

This is going to be such a nice image when it's finished. So much fun stuff to look at. Looking forward to seeing the finish on this:)

This is going to be such a fun image piece. I love how you are using perspective.

Wow, it looks great already. I can't wait to see the final result!
I am loving the details and the characters.
Best of luck!

Hey Lee, please no offence. I see a 'small' thing, The balloon on the left looks a bit like a but. LOL Maybe not a problem if you use the right colors...XD

[Lee Holland]

@Leontine LOL My partner said that it looked like a butt also. So I thought maybe I should change that.thank you.

[Lee Holland]

Hi Everyone. Here is the rough drawing finished. I still need to clean it up but thought before I do I would show you all the changes I have made before i go into Painting it.

[mcucchi]

I love this. Can't wait to see how it turns out.

Great image, it´s going to be awesome! This is my favorite type of image - in the air, with many planes and depth and a lot going on. Really looking forward to seeing your progress on this one!

[Rich Green]

@Lee-Holland - this looks amazing - can not wait to see it painted!!!

[Lee Holland]

@mcucchi @smceccarelli @rich-green Thank you for your comments. I will keep posting my progress on this. hope i paint it good enough. I'm still unsure sometimes what colours to choose.

Fantastic!

[Lee Holland]

Hi everyone. I think i have finally finished this image. It took me a while but its done. If anyone has any thought on any improvements that would be great.

[Lee Holland]

I was trying to get a rusty look on this area so I put a textured layer on top with the blend mode set to (soft light.)
