Hey guys, this is my entry into @kommienezuspadt's "Trial by Comics" contest. The comic book style is very new to me, but I think it is one I will enjoy doing in the future once I become more familiar with it. @Jedau and I have started collaborating on a comic book that takes place in the @steempunknet world and we are really looking forward to getting the first pages out in due time - more to come on that in the future!
So this is a character idea for the upcoming Steempunk Net comic. However, last night, I decided that I might actually switch her from having wings that allow her to fly to a steempunk jetpack - undecided but I'm leaning a little bit toward the jetpack.
Unfortunately, I was completely lost in this one and forgot to take process shots :( I didn't fill in the background too much because my initial thought was to render it in photoshop and not take the time to draw it manually, plus I'm imagining this being a night so most of the background will be black and maybe some lights thrown into the buildings.
I also have started an art tutorial series which you can find below:
Thanks for stoppping by!

I’m a fan of the wings. I think they’re a great visual over a jet pack. I could see the mechanics of them pushed a bit further, bigger interlocking gears, etc.
Yeah the more I have thought about it the more I like the wings as well - although I still love the idea of a steampunk jetpack (steampack?) and will probably incorporate it at some point :)
Dear Artist ! FineArtNow is a new place for artists on Steemit ! Become our friend ! See you soon !
Good effort. Keep it up.
thanks!
Very cool!

I love steampunk art, I will be watching for more developments.
appreciate it! Hopefully lots more to come in the future :)
Vote and following😁🙏
I like her goggles the best out of the whole thing, they're just the right touch. And I'm giving you a round of applause for taking on a new project and expanding your known boundaries! Good luck in the contest. ☺
thanks! hopefully the this comic will get off the ground soon-ish!
Collab between you and Jed promises to be magical XD
I kind of like the wings, maybe a steempunk jetpack would take up a bit less room, unless they're like the Men in Black jetpacks XD But then folding down the wings could look so cool! Whatever works for the thing you're trying to do anyway :D

Haha! Man, those jetpacks.. I really feel like they suit the time, and in a way proves more functional than jetpacks that never really, well... took off haha!
thanks, i'm really looking forward to it as well! I think i'm going to have people in this world that have both wings and jetpacks...I figured "why not both" lol
Seems like a good way go go about things XD
What a fine specimen! It's so good that I might have to think of a good arc for this femme fatale! Perhaps a combination of the jetpack and wings. The jetpack could be used as the propeller, while the wings would be used to steer. I really like the visual that the mechanical wings provide, with all the gears and the rustic material, that's why I feel it really completes the piece. The spikes on top really makes it look menacing!
I think you got the comic style on point!
thanks!
Hi @artistchristian. If i may suggest, how bout combining both jetpack and wings? It would make sense if jetpack being the propulsion system while the wing will serve as a weapon and flight control. Just a thought :)
