Edit: holy cow, I expected there would be a few space nuts here but I am in awe of the knowledge on display. You people rock!
Love it! Beautiful work!
Do you start with a sketch in pencil?

Rules
AI Art: While we appreciate AI generated art, there are more appropriate communities to post that type of art to. Please keep posts to non-AI generated art only. This rule includes AI art that was then manually manipulated (e.g. drawing on top of something generated by AI).
Nudity: Nudity is and has always been a part of art, but it may be something that some users don't wish to see or cannot view in certain circumstances (e.g. at work). If your work contains nudity, please mark it as NSFW. Work that contains nudity that is not marked as NSFW will be taken down. As long as the NSFW tag is used, we welcome nude subject matter.
Spam: Please do not spam this community. Self promotion is fine if you just want people to be aware of your work, but blatant attempts at spam will result in the past being removed and possibly a ban. If you aren't sure if what you are posting is spam, please contact the moderator first.
Conduct: Be nice, and don't be a jerk. Constructive criticism is OK, but don't be mean. Encouragement is always welcomed.

Thank you! Yes, always, but I'm working on leaning less on pencil, especially for detail work, and going directly to ink.
Having read the other comments, I can conclude that this is the third stage of the Saturn V?
Seriously, though, this is amazing work. Very cool!
Thank you!
This is awesome and would sell like hotcakes.
Thank you!
That looks like a P21 "rotring" bearcup thruster using the TL86 downward lift variant first shown in Popular Mechanics in 1998 when the Undertaker threw Mankind off Hell In A Cell, and plummeted 16 ft through an announcer's table.
Oh no Lemmy's been infected too π
What an absolutely beautiful illustration, I hope to see more of your work! βΊοΈ
Thank you! Comments like this are what keep them coming.
How do you like the dip pen? I've never used one before but they seem neat!
It's very different from the technical pen I'm used to. Easier to make mistakes, harder to control, prone to big blobs of ink going everywhere, and the ink I use dries much more slowly which is a serious hand-smudging hazard.
That all said, I love that you can get different line qualities with the same tool. It makes what you're drawing much more expressive.
And there's also something appealing about the fact that a pen nib will never change or be out of stock or upgraded or updated. It's just a metal stick with a slot cut in it. It's cheap, and apart from slow changes in ink technology, essentially eternal.
Interesting, thank you for sharing your thoughts!

Spaaaaaaaace!
You mean it's gone this far without a name? That's so sad. Let's call it Jeff.
This is the answer that matters.

No, thank you- Iβve been looking for a new desktop background, hehe.
Not my field of expertise, but is that from the third stage of Saturn V (S-IVB)?
Bingo! As seen in Houston, TX.
Looks like the Rocketdyne J-2, third stage of the Saturn V
Ten points!
The lines on the body scream Saturn V. Looks like the crew module?
Close, one down from that: third stage.
