Head In The Clouds

Focusing in High School was very difficult for me, unless I was actually interested in the subject. Since my High School only had a Drafting and an Architecture course that could appeal to my desire to design, that was rare. CAD was such a new thing we only had 3 computers, and it was something like Auto Cad 12, which came out in 92 just a year before. I spent a large portion of time drawing as a consequence.

More than anything else, I drew helicopters.  Like the one below. You can see the way my thinking and style changed from 1990 through 2005 in the first image, then you can see some of the intermediate steps below (Mostly from the later years, as before that they were really rather poor.)

Flying Dreams

Ideas morph, sometimes farther from the original than you would think. Take for instance this "Thopter" based loosly on the object of the same name in Frank Herbert's Dune Series. First, is a design solely derived from my previous experiments with Helicopter designs.
The second is actually an RAH-66 Comanche, modified. Third is the same with some tweaking in Photoshop.

All of this was, in turn, intended to be part of some idea a had for a palace, that sat on top of a very odd tower of a mountain.
