Squid versus Whale! Little shameless promotion for my webcomic Deep Dive Five. Also doing a half marathon of DD5 images for Inktober! Link for comic in profile! Things are getting serious for the crew. #selfpublish #comicart #comics #webcomic #adventure #squid #inktober2016 #illustration #laboroflove #comicbooks #comicbookart

"Roger that, CYD" - V. Hydrofoil bike? Not sure the physics of this would ever be possible. CYD is a Left over from the Great War. Originally used as a Navigation Robot with infantry units, they were all decommissioned and repurposed after the war. This particular unit was acquired from scavengers in the dread sea. #inktober2016 #inktober #webcomics #hydrofoil #deepdivefive

"Big? No just a little guy here, Sam. In fact I'm surprised he even registers on your equipment." - V. Composition is a little awkward but I think the intention is still there. 4 of the 16 down. Half marathon for me. #inktober2016 #inktober #inktober2go #deepdivefive #webcomic #jimsuit #atmosphericdivesuit

"Naw Sam. Nothing too exciting. Just the head of a war machine from the Great War…” - V. As I started fleshing out the world I needed to create a bit of a past but I didn’t just want to throw something as serious as war in there without justification. It plays a large role in the next story and some of the new characters. I’ve also toyed with bringing mechs into Deep Dive Five and I think there is room for them in non-military functions. Certainly something to explore in future Inktober drawings. #inktober #inktober2016 #inktober2GO “deepdivefive #webcomic

“ Just need to pop topside for a part.  I’m sure it will just be a minute...” - Sam. The suit is based on the JIM atmospheric dive suit (ADS)used in the 70s and 80s. I made some tweaks but an ADS suit will play heavily into the next story arc. BUT this image really has no bearing on the story just some fun exploration. #inktober2016 #inktober #inktober2go #deepdivefive #webcomic #JIMsuit #atmosphericdivingsuit #ads

"Yes, Chief?" She knew she was missing something good but she always answers when the boss calls..." So I am going to do a half @inktober challenge this year. If you aren't familiar with it it's a 31 day challenge to ink an image every day. Search the hashtag inktober or check out the site inktober.com. It was created by Jake Parker in 2009(I think). Anyway there is quite a following and some amazing art being created this month for it. I'm probably going to stick to Deep Dive Five themes. I think this one will definitely get a little more attention down the road. I think there is a really cool poster in there somewhere. #inktober #inktober2016 #webcomic #comicbookart
