Space suits -boy

I have very little to say about him other than he took a hell of a lot less time that the girl and that I really like his pants. I'm seriously considering making something like those in the future - the pattern would be really easy, it would just be sewing down the piping/ribbon/embroidering that would be a pain.
Clearly I need to learn a lesson from this and actually give a good amount of time to planning before jumping into an illustration. Time for the armoured suits!

Space suits - girl

New drawings! (i.e. ones that have been almost done for weeks and I only just finished because I hate doing line work and that was all that was left.)

Inspirations - patterns from Atlantis, swim suits, that hood of amazingness and wonder from Prometheus
Finally done. This is a continuation from the space armour sketch from a few weeks months ago. I'll also be doing a male counterpart as well as a proper illustration for their armour. I want to get a good, strong series of illustrations out of this for my portfolio to show design, character, and the ability to think through all the details.
Initially I was only going to do the armours but then I decided to get more involved in this. I imagine the base suit as a wear-all-day kind of thing made out of the magical fabric described by Edna Mode in The Incredibles. It would offer protection from the elements and from the armours; however, to allow for individuality the people in this setting wear easy to remove clothing over top their suits. That way if an alarm sounds they can get into their armours quickly and efficiently without having to completely change their clothing.

Two parts of the same whole WIP

Today's the one year anniversary of my blog! To everyone who's visited over the past year, thank you! I was hoping to have an illustration done to complete this post but the past few days have been surprising to say the least.
This is one of two files I'm working on right now as stress relievers. The other file is done save for some outlining. This one is much more calming though I have a sneaking suspicion that once I begin to tackle the hair I'm going to be spurting out many expletives.
