Edit: holy cow, I expected there would be a few space nuts here but I am in awe of the knowledge on display. You people rock!

Love it! Beautiful work!

Do you start with a sketch in pencil?

[-] case_when@feddit.uk 2 points 17 hours ago

Thank you! Yes, always, but I'm working on leaning less on pencil, especially for detail work, and going directly to ink.

Having read the other comments, I can conclude that this is the third stage of the Saturn V?

Seriously, though, this is amazing work. Very cool!

That looks like a P21 "rotring" bearcup thruster using the TL86 downward lift variant first shown in Popular Mechanics in 1998 when the Undertaker threw Mankind off Hell In A Cell, and plummeted 16 ft through an announcer's table.

You mean it's gone this far without a name? That's so sad. Let's call it Jeff.

[-] case_when@feddit.uk 8 points 2 days ago

This is the answer that matters.

What an absolutely beautiful illustration, I hope to see more of your work! ☺️

[-] case_when@feddit.uk 6 points 1 day ago

Thank you! Comments like this are what keep them coming.

How do you like the dip pen? I've never used one before but they seem neat!

[-] case_when@feddit.uk 3 points 1 day ago

It's very different from the technical pen I'm used to. Easier to make mistakes, harder to control, prone to big blobs of ink going everywhere, and the ink I use dries much more slowly which is a serious hand-smudging hazard.

That all said, I love that you can get different line qualities with the same tool. It makes what you're drawing much more expressive.

And there's also something appealing about the fact that a pen nib will never change or be out of stock or upgraded or updated. It's just a metal stick with a slot cut in it. It's cheap, and apart from slow changes in ink technology, essentially eternal.

No, thank you- I’ve been looking for a new desktop background, hehe.

Looks like the Rocketdyne J-2, third stage of the Saturn V

Bingo! As seen in Houston, TX.

This is awesome and would sell like hotcakes.

The lines on the body scream Saturn V. Looks like the crew module?

[-] case_when@feddit.uk 4 points 2 days ago

Close, one down from that: third stage.
