These doodles and the post below are based around sycamore seeds. They litter the pavement on the way to work. Me and the kids would collect them and drop them from our local bridge. It's a thought I've had for a while - these characters (whoever they are) use them as ways of flying around. Inspired by my daughters book of Fairies "Cecily Mary Barker " and the Spiderwick Chronicles. Miniature old fashioned tech with a bit of clockwork stuff thrown in.

Yet another figure with armour again. I think I've got it out of my system now. With all this detail I would like to add colour to it and see how it goes. The wings need to be much bigger - in proportion to the figures weight. The wings are a later added feature. It was originally intended to be a back pack like all the others but the sweeps of pencil line took me further up the page.

I've continued a figure from a previous post with a type of knight helmet. Not really going anywhere but fun to do.

This character is based on an old doodle I did in illustrator. I've used it for the title banner. Not sure about it, might change it. This character is kinda like Buzz Lightyear with manga tech. I could imagine the character in an old style side scrolling arcade game.

Character work. A spin off from the previous aircraft contraptions. Roughly based from pilots in the forties era (Biggles etc). A bit more realistic compared to the previous smaller figures. If I continue with this figure I would like to sketch out some dynamic poses to illustrate more of the character. This is something I don't do enough of. Faces and hands I need to work on too. tsk.

I like the previous sketch of the aircraft I did. I've continued with it showing the back. No great idea behind the theme - just a personal fan on tech. I've added gyroscopes to give it some functionality and credibility. This part I like - you can chip away at it and take it from a thought to a convincing drawing on paper.

Suprise surprise. Padded suit character continued with a bit of colour.
