Continuing the "no time to draw" archive dive...

So again about five or six years before the dawn of furry....April '78.

Pony girl and lizard girl and mysterious rider (in weird greco-roman 30's style space-helmet sort of thing)....Idea sort of mixed Bode and Dean, inking style a very loose variation on Moebius. Trying to use some of all their techniques (and Frazetta's and Shelton's etc) to create a sense of 3D depth. i had found, back then, that one could trick the mind-thing into actually seeing a painting or drawing as though it was 3D...pot sometimes did that, holding a lens over one eye could also trick the brain as to visual clues...the main point to give a lot of clues as to depth and form...all the artists mentioned above knew this stuff, especially Moebius. These days i can just see 2D stuff in 3D if i get my brain/eyes working that way...

Anyhoo, this is a peice near and dear to me, but the inking was left about 40% unfinished...so during the last three years i started finishing it up digitally...put the last few touches on it tonight, and here it is after so long....

And there is a colour version in the works....
