I wanted to thank Dronstad for allowing me to draw on his blog. Besides, I will do this by featuring his story Steam Dreams Robot and my cover image on my projects page. Also, I will show the finished pieces in this project in a large format. I won’t go into a tutorial mode or style because I want to keep those in my blog area.

Please head over to my “Who Is Vye” page to get to know me better!

Hi Michael, thank you for your comment! I am too interested how I was able to get depth to show motion. I didn’t realize I am doing that with the drawing.
