Got started on those cruisers I'm working on for Identity and Orchard
here's the initial sketch work I'm starting with
^this ones for Orchard. I'm still undecided on what medium I'm going to use for the final piece, but the original art it's based off of is this old lino print with tons of hatching details and stuff, so this outline is super simplified compared to how its actually gonna look.
carpetgrip on top is gonna be 2 tone, with 1 of those tones being a bird silhouette.
^and this is the one for Identity (Portsmouth NH, not the giant super chain shops out west). pretty sure I'm gonna make this one a woodburning piece, and a "buoy" like striping pattern above and below the ship image, then aged and tarnished, and then the whole thing overlayed with some stain. Can't wait to do the carpetgrip on top too, gonna try to get real fancy compared to my past block/stripe styled ones in the past.
