Boats Don't Fly - The Bottled Otter

I redesigned the "boat", and it has a name now too!

The "Bottled Otter". Inspired by both tug boats and Mississippi steamers, i wanted it to be sort of a mix between the two. The vibe of the classic river steamers, but more of the shape of a tugboat. It has a lot more detail now, and the scaling makes more sense. It gained a crane and a canon. The machine parts, or exhausts, or basically "tubing" probably don't make any mechanical sense, they are more there for aesthetic reasons.


















And as a little bonus, here are some sketches i did with a ballpoint pen. Really quickly during commercial breaks. The side view of Betty is not the best, but hey, no erasing pen is there?

Actually, erasable pens do exist.

I think you lose, Erwtenfoo'! :)

Well... The whole point of drawing with a pen is becouse they're always availible all around me, they're not special art supplies you have to go out and buy...

Also, not being able to erase is good practice, i think.

Even sketching in pencil, I rarely erase...
