Description Another partial foothold in the mountainous to-do list I have pinned to my bookshelf...
For Dave Gordon's 'Babes, Bullets and Blades' book



A Steampunk vampire sitting on an alter flanked by heavy drapes and candles with moonlight pouring in through the gear shaped stained glass window...
Or that's what it will be when it's done.

I started doing this while I was waiting for the inks on a comic page I was doing to dry, which should've taken about 20 minutes, tops... I got carried away though :/ I just started thumb nailing and everything just came flooding in, the pose, the composition, it all just seemed to slot into place really easily, which, I was saying earlier on on ning probably means that I've bloody seen it before somewhere and forgot about it, but fuck it, as far as I'm concerned it's mine! >8D so have that!


[edit]

Inks 3/4s cleaned up

Only speaking the truth, dude.

It good to see the rise of Scotland's
next gen of underground cartoonists.

In fact it is pretty awesome!

I think we need a little more light so we can see the awesome that is her right arm and gauntlet- maybe from the candle on her left side, which doesn't seem to be giving off light?

CallofTheDeep In reply to TheVikingGoddess [2010-02-28 00:42:56 +0000 UTC]

Light, check.

Ergh, yeah, unfortunately the beam that passes over it totally nerfs the glow from the candle on that side, it is giving off light though, just not as glaring XP
But thank you, I'll look to brightening her gauntlet up 8D

I figured you had a good reason- it's just jarring, having a glow from one and not from the other. Obviously this is a dark scene, I'm not asking you to throw a spot in there...the gauntlet is just so COOL that it's a shame not to see it.

Brightened it up a bit, i didn't want to go too crazy though in case it ruined the effect

TheVikingGoddess In reply to CallofTheDeep [2010-02-28 14:34:11 +0000 UTC]

MUCH better! I wouldn't touch it any more as far as light goes.

For you, anytime and anyplace. I want to be able to show up to your comic signings drunk and claim to be a close personal friend when you're famous. :3
