Machine Concept


Here's my main idea, I only have one drawing as of now.
I've been thinking about a zine that tells a story about a walking machine called Birmingham. I looked at various images of Birmingham for inspiration for things to fill the machine. The picture above is only the first design, the whole look of the ship is inspired by "Howl's Moving Castle".

I want my later drawings to be busy so the viewer has a lot to look out for. I will post quick storyboards and the photos I drew from if necessary. I'm thinking of having the machine crumble towards the end, but I'm welcome to any other suggestions...

Sort of reminds me of the book 'Mortal Engines'.

Couple of Illustrations based on the book:
