Artist's Comments

here's my entry for the contest. It's mostly hand-drawn, with a few digital tweaks. Done in Pentel Zebra mechanical pencil, prisma markers and colored pencils, uniball pen on strathmore bristol board. Tweaked the colors and texture in PS2

My goal in the piece was to try and use fine whispy lines to mimic the graceful qualities of sumi and then tone it so it would appear like an old parchment or scroll. I added my OCD nature of detail and voila! I think it works...enjoy!

judges: a larger version is available on request in the required size.

If you make an invisibility potion that makes everything it touches invisible.... then how can you see the bottle?
:iconscionscheffer:
Just awesome!

Don't talk yourself down in your journal, everyone has their own style, so there's never really one winner in my opinion. In my taste, this is one of the winners haha.

I'm not entering the contest because I believe I'm not yet good enough, though I've practised with sumi-e styles, and I've played the game only once, because I do not have the time :-(
:iconstormslegacy:
Lovely work, you did a fantastic job mimicking the style, I am extremely impressed. Your paws are wonderful on Amaterasu and I love how the dragon's faces are drawn.
:iconkumori13:
Oh my...gosh. This is incredible! Traditional, too?!
...I'm so rooting for you here, now. xD
