Progress Post 22

For this next critique, I've focused on finishing my NOVA piece. While I haven't been able to finish it to my satisfaction due to its scale, I have been able to finish some parts I am especially proud of (depicted above). I've enjoyed working on this piece, and although its been close to a year coming along, I hope to finish it before needed for the senior booklet. I'll be working on it even after this critique, but it seems I keep on forgetting how much detail this work actually takes. In the process, I have decided that the focus on this piece should be the engine, and that I'll finish color blocking the surrounding parts to resolve the piece. Around the edges, the different hues have been hard to mix and blend well, but I think in staying to the colors of the reference picture, it'll turn out better :).
