Week 3: chairs

Here are my chairs! Inking with pen, not Photoshop this week. I've been shopping for a new chair on a budget, I finally settled on something financially responsible but probably not ergonomically responsible. Despite my compromise, I got thinking of what chair I might buy, if I had the money, and I came up with this:
Obviously this position wouldn't be most conducive for work
Then that got me in the mindset of comfy overstuffed chairs, so I did this:
The angle's not quite right.
In my character design class the maquette instructor Drew came in once and said that seldom do living creatures have concave curves, but rather a series of convex curves that form the appearance of a concave shape. That really resonated with me and I've found I like to apply the same principles to non-living objects to give them a sense of warmth/ comfort.

I also decided to try my hand at a 1950's diner stool:
Elipses were driving me crazy this evening!
A side project I've been working on has a sci-fi bent, so with that on the brain I decided to try out a couple of sci-fi sort of cockpit seats as well:
The stirrups remind me of a gynecologist. Maybe not the best element in retrospect?
I like this one a bit better.
