NaArMaMo 2008, Day 22: Vashta Nerada Spacesuit

Doctor Who fan art featuring a previously occupied spacesuit controlled by the Vashta Nerada, as seen in the series 4 episode Silence In The Library/Forest Of The Dead.

This is my twenty-second piece for this year's (Inter)National Art Making Month, in which you create a new piece of art every day in August.

This was drawn on a tablet PC using a variable width brush for the lines and the airbrush tool for the colouring. Total time spent was about 5 hours, about 1.75 hours of which was the line art layer.

As always with art on Fridays (see Hath and Ood), I've stayed up extra late to finish colouring this (Although I have to admit that I also started colouring extra late too). This is actually the second time I've drawn this spacesuit now -- [link] -- but this time I've chosen a scene with interesting lighting -- red tinted on the left and blue tinted on the right. Always a good idea to choose a source image with an interesting pose, lighting or both!
