Description

This is a concept design for a character in a comic book I’m hoping to start work on. It is my own character and story and naturally, for those who have seen my other work, know how I struggle with names. I decided to end up calling this freedom to express the vibe I get when I look at this (totally circumventing the name thing all together).

This little image right here took almost 22 hours of my life away from me. There was a lot of experimentation involved with this piece. I had never inked a drawing quite like this one (that ended up taking about 10 hours).

Turns out there’s this thing in Photoshop called the pen tool which makes curves really easy to ink. I didn’t know about that until after the fact, so what you see here is all done by hand

I was also much more careful with how I went about choosing colors for the dragon and how they complemented each other and how I went about coloring the whole thing in the first place. Lots of new things tried out on this one which is why it took so darn long (another 10 hours)!

And then there’s that background, and no clouds aren’t easy not matter which angle you draw them from (another 2 hours).

But all good things to those who are patient.

I am happy with it
