Boatings

So i proceded to paint my designs. The Orthographic i did mostly when i was at home with my family on Photoshop, largely from my imagination and from a wooden board texture i found instantly on Google for the wood, and a canvas texture for the zeppelins.
I then used an old paper texture for the background, the one i used for the logo of my project and gave it a nice border which i feel presented it in a very nice way, making it look like a design document from the time it came from. My next aim is to get a painting of the ship in perspective for the bottom left hand corner and write some notes about the design of the ship in caligraphy around the designs.

The other image i was working on at the same time i did mostly after the Easter break as the vanishing point tool stopped working on my parent's computer. I used some of the same textures for it as the image i was working on at the same time.
I came back to this one later to add shadows lighting and even characters to give the image more atmosphere. I was also a bit concerned that it seemed a very brown afair with very little other colour. Blue and brown seems like a trend that has been used again and again in most of my works this term so i had in mind a background which shows the sea, the sky and the horizon the ship is sailing towards.
I added this background and a person and a lot of light and shadows and i believe the results are a lot better as the result.
My next idea is to put my character design idea in the foreground of the piece to mask the are in the bottom right where not a lot is going on . Overall i beleive this piece to be quite effective with the shadows.
