What time is it? It’s vintage-Firefly-movie-poster drawing time!
So I finished it!! Just in time for Calgary expo. Oh man, I don’t think I’ve spent a longer amount of time on a single drawing/painting EVER. I’m pretty well satisfied with how it turned out though! So many bitty details, you have to see it printed. It’s pretty great.
Anyway, if you want to see a couple progress pics of this drawing, you can check it out here, or on my twitter (starting about here and going backwards). I didn’t document the progress as well this time, probably because it took me like 3 weeks to finish it? I’ll try better next time!

I swear by my pretty floral bonnet, I will end you.
For all its snappy one-liners and rousing chases through deep space, Firefly is most beautiful—and most effective—in its simplicity. The show envisions the depths of outer space and humankind’s very future into the classic setting of for any Western, and does it so with the utmost elegance. Firefly’s space is the space of an untamed frontier, shattered by outlaws, vigilantes and lawmen. It’s a rough and tumble place, a future made primitive, where the progress of mankind means trudging through plenty of cow flops, and making victims out of whole societies of innocent people. It’s the American Old West writ large, and there’s perhaps no surprise in the fact that every planet that the motley crew of the Serenity touches down upon looks like it could have been pulled from Monument Valley or the scrub plains of Oklahoma. - Ian Chant
