IF : Hatch

As the cargo hatch finally opened, the Brontosauruses ambled down the ramp cautiously. The long flight had numbed their circulation considerably.

The helicopter pilot had some inspiring words of wisdom for the rookie navigator... "Remember, as in life so with choppers - when one hatch closes, another opens somewhere else! "
NOTE: Although I had some interesting ideas for this week's topic...owing to my tight work schedule I'm posting just some rough concept sketches with a watercolor wash instead of finished illustrations. The drawings above feature the largest transport plane and helicopter currently in service...both are equipped with an enormous cargo bay and hatch!

OMG! I love those Brontosauruses! Both sketches are wonderful (the helicopter is gorgeous) and I really like the touch of watercolor!!!
Thank you very much for your kind comments, since yesterday I have been a little sad and your words "when one hatch closes, another opens somewhere else!" encourage me a lot.
Happy Holidays!
^_^

Both drawings are OK, but i prefer the first one.

When I saw what the IF topic was I knew there'd be an airplane hatch of some sort in yours, but I never could've predicted the brontosauruses. Love it.

Your Brontosauruses ROCK! And so do your massive transport vessels. What a cool way for a plane to hatch its cargo!

Wishing you and your family a very happy holiday season!
