Over the past few weeks, L.M. and I have been posting some lovely mature juicey finished artworks by artists we admire. I decided to break it up with some raw scratchy half-baked drawings from my own sketchbook...

A perfect interpretation of the scene from 'The Algebraist' where the goofy space-whales face off against the human military armada.

If you really really hate spoilers, then you might read some of Iain M. Bank's earlier books for more context first, but not absolutely required.

The thought of a little Iain (M) Banks essay to explain more of this is tempting...

thanks R.E.C. and Von Bark. These are just drawn with black ball point pen and scanned.
