this Last one come from the house of Atréides, when Leto arrive to Ix, and Dominic Vernius show im the Heighliner

Very cool art, welcome to the forum.

Too bad about the prequels... but at least you got a nice peice of art out of reading them.

I really like the style, please keep posting as you make 'em...

What kind of technique is that?

Thanks for the answer, and Lundse, what kind of technique well, a wacom tablet and photoshop only

The heighliner looks a little like the ship from Niven's Building Harlequin's Moon.

That book was okay, little dry for me, but well put together.

Is it worth reading? I'm going through all the science-fiction classics and otherwise good stories I can come across, so once I'm doing with my current list it'd be nice to have something else to start on.

It's not really a Niven book, he just helped polish it from what I understand (but of course they put his name first and biggest...), not sure if that helps you. It's worth reading, but obviously there are much better things to read if you're pressed for time. If you're into ultra-hard SF it was pretty interesting from that point of view.

Great stuff - you've got a load of energy going on there.

Looking forward to more

Nice artwork. Very atmospheric.

Welcome! I love your black and white style of art.

I tried to read Ringworld and got bored about half way through.

Thanks for posting the artwork Massblack, keep at it!

thanks for all your aswer, I'll continue to post all the next I'll make

absolutely FAN-tastic.

I hope Simon will drop by and see the difference
between Art & Illustration ....

Welcome. Your Water is Mine.

Nice intro, welcome.

Same here. It really takes a good artist to pull off the atmosphere black and white can do, and Dune is just esoteric enough that they go well together.

Thanks again and I'm realy happy you like it, I show you now, not an illustration but a character design, still in progress of Paul Atreide when he's Emperor, I'm preparing that character for a future illustration.

I like your style a lot. It's very distinctive, and suits the subject matter.

Paul looks pretty grim. Prescience got him down?

I'm curious about the key ring (?). Any symbolism or purpose behind them?

Yeah, thought so too. I think it fits better if you imagine him on his way to Leto II's birth-bed, knowing what he will be told...

Nice art work. Keep it up.

And Welcom on board. Look forward to gettting to know you better.

its still in progress, there many things I need to had. Just to situate , i starting readint children of dune few days ago.

But for me this image of Paul, it's what I saw reading, when he start to say he want to go back to the deser, when he start to see chani death, when you see ( for me ) all of that it's starting to weigh to much.

That's why it still in progress to, I want to give him, that image, a strong person, with an huge statut, enormous power, but all that consume him.

now that's a stillsuit ....

That's just a matter of perspective.

Nice... very very nice... Stop reminding me I haven't drawn anything for ages

Love this stuff though - keep posting
