Samurai by Jon Riggle

Kind of following in Steve's footsteps. I liked his idea of the 'aged look'. This was about 80 minutes of boredom for me as I sit and contemplated... stuff.  I also needed a break from the commission I'm working on lol.

Since some of us are always interested in tools we use and process... 5x7 bristol - 2H pencil, Microns, Two copic Markers and a Pentel Pocket Brush Pen, oh and a white colored pencil.

Hope you guys enjoy!

  4. AH SANK YOU! I had a bit of 'fun' you could say. I was going to greytone this but decided I would not be able to do the overlay of 'oriental' E34 for us copic users. It would have hide a lot of the greytone, so I used some colored pencil (forgot I used a tuscan red and black for shading)

    Glad you guys like it too.

    Steve - lol I was channeling you, sorry. There's your reason you were tossing and turning earlier. I have to agree though... and I thank you immensely!
