Jules Verne's Nautilusby *tauceti

Digital Art / Paintings & Airbrushing / Sci-Fi

The commission from hell.
Looking back at this, it seems like it should have been a much easier piece, but this has been a headache for much longer than it should have been. Mainly because the client who ordered it gave me very explicit instructions to NOT do any of the things that would have made the piece seem more interesting/alive/realistic. Ah, the life of a commission artist......I want advil.

I really like your interpretation of the Nautilus. Seems very true to the book.

Thank you. That was actually a request of the person who commissioned the piece. I spent about a week researching as much as I could find on the original descriptions and then a few days redrawing it with a ruler and a calculator to get it as accurate as I could lol.

I think you did a great job, all that effort really paid off.
