Early ref and sketches for a PP-Bizon finish. I wanted to emulate the sort of simple graphic finishes that were the staple of the times. I've been looking at a lot of reference, and there are lots of common characteristics to the types of paintjobs you'd see on objects in these movies/comics/cartoons. meanwhile trying to avoid something that reads as being from a specific movie or comic, but more like an object from a story from that time.

Blocked in the initial color spaces, started sketching on the top of that to see what I might try next. Still in the Sketch phase, but I like to give myself an idea of what something is going to look like on the model while I play around with ideas.
Double checking ref, looking at objects made from popular 70's and 80's sci fi. Concentrating mostly on stuff like star wars and battleship yamamoto. I want it to read like the type of gun you'd see some gaurd on a starship holding. Thanks a bunch for the kind words guys!
