Finally finished!

And you know what? I'm not remotely happy with it! I can't remember the last time I was so unenthusiastic about colouring something in, at the moment I seem to be torn between doing something in a traditional comic style and something more rendered and painterly, consequently leaving me with an image that's all over the shop. I think the next thing I will do is a digital painting as it's clearly playing on my mind!

My demented sense of perfectionism strikes again.

I know I should have coloured this in by now, but after much scrutiny I decided I wasn't really happy with the inking, I put far too much detail in, so when scaled down it looks far too dense, so I redid it and stripped a bit of the detail out, I'm a lot happier with this version and the coloured version will be up on monday. I swear!

Mr Productive...

Well, inked this up last night and I'm quite pleased, I'm definitely making progress on the inking front, this was primarily inked with a Hunt 107, with the odd assist from a Rotring technical pen, it's a bit scratchy here and there but i think this is due to my quill not being quite 'broken in'. Also tweaked it in photoshop so it's less lopsided. I'll start the colouring tonight, but it's more than likely it won't be up til next tuesday, due to me being off work from thursday onwards. Hope you like it.

My Apologies....

for not getting something up here sooner, had a hectic few weeks of...well...getting blind drunk. I did manage to get this done at the tail end of last week though and it's a character I've been messing about with for ages now, I originally intended to build it in 3D and sculpt it in mudbox, but due to my growing realisation that 3D no longer interests me remotely, I'm not going to do it at the minute, so I'm putting it to bed for now. I've already buggered up the inking, but I'm going to redo it on the lightbox at some point this week, so come back later! Ta.
