New Sketches - Works in Progress

As I've been sketching more--sketching for sketching's sake-- I realize the majority of my sketches go unfinished and undisplayed. I've always been hesitant to show works in progress but from now on I'm going to make a conscious effort to display all of my sketches.

Here are a few that I'm working, two of which will most likely become finished pieces:

1a. Jolly Green Giant(ess), Sketch - Because who wants a giant green dude roaming around, eh?

1b. Jolly Green Giant(ess) - Painted

2. Tribute to Pete Postlethwaite - This guy was a really forceful and underrated actor who died recently. He is, however, excellent caricature material, no matter how much I respect him.

3. The Little Mermaid, caught - A truly little mermaid gets caught by a dame out to fish. The bikini gal's pose still seems a little stiff, but I may go for a more exaggerated pin-up pose as well as a simple, tropical beach background.

ZoneCast, Phase 2, pt. 2

These are the rest of the designs of Phase 2 (6b was picked):

ZoneCast, Phase 2

So the project finally has a name, but it doesn't have finalized components yet. For the final design, I'm waiting on the PCB and the addition of a capacitative touchscreen instead of buttons. Design 6b will be the drawing to be expanded upon:

SoundCast 'Dorothy' Project

Oh, and just for your information, this product will be used to wireless connect a surround-sound system. Here's the rest of 'em:

SoundCast 'Dorothy' Project (Pt. 1)

Yeah, it has no name so for some reason they're calling it 'Dorothy.' No matter, the point is, this is my first actual, factual product I get to design. I also get to pretend I know more about engineering than I really do--but in a really smooth way, ya hear?

Anyway, here are the designs (#1,3, and 6 were chosen to develop):

Dead Design

This ship design has been in my head for a while and I've finally decided I need to kill it because it's starting to look way too similar to the 'Protector' from Galaxy Quest... Ah well, here it is:

Mobile Sentient Auto-Turret

This is an idea I've had where a ships turrets would be mobile and always changing locations on the out hull of a capital ship. Furthermore, they ought to have some degree of sentience in order maximize effectiveness. Anyway here's one of my sketches:
