I did this concept drawing a while ago for a Gnomon Class project. I wanted to take this concept to the next level by completing a high-resolution cinematic illustration. Now, three years later with a wife and two kids, hopefully by posting this up it will give me the drive to complete this illustration. I started the 3D model in Maya it's still in it's premature stage.
