Description This was murder, absolute murder on my poor fingers; drawn and blended entirely in ballpoint pen. All those faded/washed parts were created by smudging the wet ink with my finger tips. Ink doesn't blurr well, so I had to press really hard, and I believe that blisters are on the way.

I only drew one half with the distinct purpose of taking it into photoshop and mirroring it.

Warning: Huge full view file size, but trust me, it'll be worth it.

EDIT- So I've removed this from the anthro category; I really didn't feel that it belonged there.

Great work! Ech, mirror images are always a pain. Don't smudging sticks work with pen though? Never really tried it, of course my homeade paper ones don't work that well anyway. xD

My gosh! This truly must have taken you forever! The final effect is wondrous, so it was worth it though. I saw it and read it was all in ball point and just froze and stared. *o* It is truly stunning and wonderful! ~L.Wolf

Flippin' jawdropping work, my cuz.

Your genius lies in your ability to transform everyday tools into an art medium.
And therefore, your creativity is brought to life. This fact mirrors so much of who you are as a person.

Maybe I'm overanalyzing. But I never cease to be amazed by your work.

AlmightyQUEST [2005-03-02 04:25:06 +0000 UTC]

Your effort was worth it.
Though some may blow this off because of the sketchy ink lines, when you look closely it's amazing work. I hate working in pen period, much less with art.
very cool.

Daaamn, it's obvious you put some serious work into this one. The blisters are worth it.

I can't say how well you've done with the shading and smudging, you have manipulated the mirror technique and the color blue to their fullest powers.
