Big Sketch Dump. Airships and kung fu.

Well I hate my scanner. I don't know what settings to put it on to get a nice scan, so I had to adjust these suckers a lot in photoshop. The colors are a bit funky, and some of the lines aren't there, so please disregard that part.

Here's an the preliminary designs for an airship. Inspired by a picture I saw by another artist.

Then I went on to design my own airship, and this is what I came up with. You can't see the cannon smoke very clearly, but it's there. I'm stumped on what to put in the back area. I don't really want engines, because it's sail powered, and a ship's hull would look kind of weird. Any ideas would be helpful.

K here's some kung fu stances I drew. I used myself for a reference, and some pictures I found on the net. This one was done about a week ago.

More kung fu. This one was done yesterday. I draw at night because I have these big windows that show my reflection when it's dark outside, so I can have a reference of sorts.

DAM thats nice but try scanning in a greyscale (ie no color) then go to curves and make it a well just mess around with it u will get it.

And then I used one of those poses to draw this. I don't really like the bamboo on the right. It doesn't fit in with the style I drew the rest of the guy in.

And the last one. Just some futuristic armor that I sketched. I hate it when I sketch something cool, but I can't reproduce it. Such was the case here. *sigh*

Thank you icbm and buttink. I have a lexmark scanner. Is greyscale also shown as "grey"? I scanned this in color, 100% contrast, and -50% brightness because anything else didn't show up at all.

Anything I can improve on though? And the back of my airship needs ideas... Thanks again everyone.

Because my scanner sucks. I've shown only about 3 or 4 drawings so far in all my time being here. Thanks for the compliment.
