Traditional Art / Drawings / Fantasy

Hee hee hee

I want to feel the pain and the bitter taste of the blood on my lips again

So I have been obsessively listening to this song lately and I guess it inspired me or something! Of all of my characters, it seemed to resonate most for Kyte and Felix, and Felix's design suited the composition I wanted to draw, so.... I just kinda went with it.

It sprawled across two pages of my handmade sketchbook (I opted not to edit out the stitching running down the middle, though I might go back in and do it late), and is done in black 005 Micron pen, grey 005 Copic Multiliner for the tattoos, markers of about six different brands, watercolour/gouache for the background, and white gel pen and more marker on top of that.

I AM SO TIRED. And I should be making fanart for AniMaritime (and the other two cons I'll be at this summer) but instead I am doing things like this. :C

(Also I need to start using references again, hurrrr. I bet tomorrow I am going to look at this and go 'WHAAAAA D8')

I have to say, of all your work this one is my favourite. I bought the print from you at the Fan Expo in Toronto, and I have it up on the wall in my bedroom. Its a beautiful piece that really, really speaks to me, and I just wanted to shoot you a quick thank you. I hope you come to the one next year so I can snag more of your breathtaking paintings!

Hee hee... I'm glad you like it! And I'll definitely be at Fan Expo 2012, I've pre-registered for the space already since I had so much fun at the last one. (:

Thanks for dropping by!
