Description Another one for the Legendary Library contest. This time it's brothers Ink (right) and Dare (left). Not my characters, of course. Dare is a 'Time Ranger' and gifted musician, whilst Ink is something of loner assassin. He also wants to kill Dare (again), and one of the bonus contest prizes is for any Ink/Dare/April combo, so I thought I'd take a stab at it :3

I especially like Ink's expression, and the way Dare's hair came out. Although Dare is too far to the left because I ran out of room on the page >_>

No critique since this is a traditional piece (can't fix it easily) and overall I'm happy with it (minus some minor quibbles, like the gun being kinda short, the colouring on Dare's nose [Augh! Where's the undo button], and Ink's hand is a bit funny).

Inked with 0.05, 0.1 and 0.3 Microns.

Coloured with Copics and a white gel rollerball:

YR20 Yellowish Shade: Base skin
YR00 Powder Pink: Second skintone
YR04 Chrome Orange: Ink's coat trim
YR14 Caramel: Darker shade on Ink's coat trim. Base colour for Dare's hair
Y35 Maize: Ink's hair
R08 Vermillion: Dare's hair, tie
E50 Egg Shell: Gun hilt.
B00 Frost Blue: Ink's eye
YG06 Yellowish Green: Dare's eye
C-1 Cool Gray No. 1: Gun and Dare's shirt
W-1 Warm Gray No. 1: General shadow use. Dare's coat 'feathers'

Superb job! I adore the expressions x3, Ink has the perfect "Ohfuck o__o" look. Excellent job with the copics as well, makes me wish I could afford to get some D:

I don't think running out of room makes it bad, i think it adds to the picture, makes the character feel more menacing and the other more diminished.... if what I said made sense to you...

Aww, thanks~ @w@ haha, I still muck up in places with Copics though. Need more practice and experiments X3

But yes! White gel pens are addictive fun XD.I have to be careful not to go overboard with the highlights... I actually got the idea from you when you mentioned you use them in your traditional colouring~
