Man, SXSW was crazy – 25th anniversary and the biggest year yet! I only went to a couple of shows. The highlights of my South By this year were What’s Tappening, Chica Vas, and Harsh Realm II at Monofonus.<\/p>\n

Anyway last week I mentioned how I got three volumes of 2001 Nights<\/em> by Yukinobu Hoshino. Now I’m going to post the my favorite examples of tone sheet usage and show you what they inspired me to make.<\/p>\n

I love the gas giant (is it a processed photograph?) and the circles of light from the propulsion of the ship on the right in this page:<\/p>\n

The gradient tone sheets on this spaceship blow my mind:<\/p>\n

More space ship and gas giant shots:<\/p>\n

I love the trippy background tone sheet and the strong composition in this next one. I wish the spaceshit had some tones to make it pop from the background more.<\/p>\n

I think the tones in this one are so subtle:<\/p>\n

The next two are from my favorite one of the stories, “Chapter 18: Odyssey in Green.” A spaceship crash lands on a planet where plants have evolved to launch endless, mindless interstellar seed ships. Enormous flowers take the light from the planet’s sun and focus it into a laser that propels the ships into space. The first one shows the plant that shoots the laser:<\/p>\n

The second one shows a seed ship launching into space:<\/p>\n

All of this inspired me to make custom tone sheets in Photoshop. Here’s my first finished piece, a gas giant of my own:<\/p>\n

I might make this into a screenprint.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
