The Ancient Book of Sex and Science





USE TECHNOLOGY TO COLLECT THE WOMEN!

Here is the first piece that I've done for our next installment of the "Ancient Book" series. Our next book will be playing with the themes of Sex and Science. I'm hoping to weave a little story between all of my paintings again which was fun the last time around. As for this piece, well there's really not much to explain other than it's a giant cyclops robot operated by scientists collecting wild naked women on some unknown planet. I have to say I love the logic in Sci-Fi pulp. Anyways below I've included some rough sketches of the piece and some earlier thumbnails. Check out the blogs of Lou Romano, Scott Morse, and Don Shank for updates on their awesome artwork for the book.

NATE! This is awesome, a painting Id love to have hanging on my wall. The colours are so tasty and the women are so cute and sexy in a simple design way. The blue-green really pops out with the white, its great! Plus, there again is my favourite colour family, the hot pinks and cherry reds...its going to be a great theme in the book...look forward to more. Well Done :D

Jeffrey said...

Really neat segmentation going on with those arms. Those are paper cut out right?

And the naked girls are really cute too. How nice of the scientists to keep them warm within their massive robot.

Dani said...

I love the colours and the paper cut-out - it just adds another level of detail, perhaps that little shadow, which paint can't exactly do.

Using technology to collect women makes me laugh; some men do that in our world too, don't they? Except they use slim, attractive "i" phones, pods, macs...

Mick said...
