Yeah, I've FINALLY got some new artwork to submit! Not only that, but this is something I've been meaning to drop in here for AGES, and I finally got round to putting it all together, so here it is.
As I'm sure some of you should remember, I am an INSANELY geeky fan of Frank Herbert's spectacularly epic hard sci-fi opera Dune saga, and for ages now (at least on and off ) I've been working on an ever-evolving series of fanart/etc based on the series. And of course there are few things in the saga more important than the Fremen, so getting their look sorted was a serious necessity ...
Anyways, the coolest thing about the Fremen of Arrakis, BY FAR, is the stillsuit, the all-purpose water-reclamation "survival suit" they wear in the desert. I had SO MUCH FUN working on the design for this, even if it did go though an awful lot of permutations before I got to this version, which I'd say is about as close as I think I can get to a definitive. I'll admit I was somewhat influenced by the David Lynch version, but I tried to work out the actual mechanics of how this would actually work as well, so it's a bit more workmanlike. That said, I'm not really a particularly technically-minded person, so if this totally wouldn't work don't hate me for it, okay?
Safe to say when I (eventually) start producing more Dune art I'll be using this basic design for the stillsuits, or at least some refined variation () ... meanwhile, guess I'd better get back to those Harkonnens ...
Oh yeah, PLEASE download to get a proper look ... but I'll warn you it's a pretty massive file ...
mechanical pencil and Pilot Hi-tecpoints on cartridge paper, composition in Gimp 2.6. All the Dune stuff is property of the estate of Frank Herbert.
