Description
I did this for Hammish Steele's Gamera Vs Zine-Ra, a tribute zine to the giant turtle's 50 year anniversary. You can preorder a copy here: leadache.bigcartel.com/product…Related content

Looks pretty awesome. I like the colors here. Makes everything pop with this 70's like British feel. And good call on not outlining everything with a black line. It makes everything feel a bit more organic to eachother and not just individual characters that are sitting on top of each other. Sort of like how my stuff happens to once in a while >_<

Thanks a lot! Oh yeah, I'm not the biggest fan of solid black linework in my own art these days, so I tweak it pretty frequently after I scan the original drawing. Varying the line weight can help too, though uh, I didn't do that at all here, ha.

I should not use black lines as much as I do, but I do lol. But I vary the line weight all the time. That is why I do everything in Adobe Illustrator and with the pen tool. I can get the line to look exactly as sharp as I want. And then I can go back in and actually make it thicker or thinner....depending on what sort of detail it is pulling out of the image.
But I think because I use such gosh dang bright and varied colors...I can get away with the black lines. At least that is the reason I hope I can lol.
Stay tuned tomorrow because there is going to be a 3 monster illustration that is going to be put up. One of my favorite seijins from the Ultra universe.
