Description The book I drew it in was substantially larger than the blackbook I would usually draw in, so I actually had to cut out the picture in order to scan it. I really like having bigger size paper with me on the go, however, so I have since upgraded my main size to that of the bigger book.

This piece was a further experimentation/development of my inking style. Those friendly looking worm guys have been known to pop into my work every now and again. I have no control over them.

Dah, thanks so much man. I really appreciate it. This is the first time somebody has commented twice on one of my works!

I'm glad you still think so. When I get my book printed, I'll definitely send one your way. (Just remind me!)

It would actually be a graphic novel one-shot a friend and I are working on.

The idea was to have it done by the end of the year, and by current estimates we're still just about on schedule, so here's to hoping we can pull it off on time.

If not, definitely within the first few months of the new year. Either way, one is yours.

Hey, I took a look at your gallery. You have some cool stuff going on there. Is that you in most of those pictures? I like the perfume ad one. Also, which is the Latin City of Asia? I have an idea, but I was wondering.

MarsNeverSleeps In reply to BIGBC [2008-03-12 17:44:28 +0000 UTC]

Thanks dude.

Yes, I have definitely thought of it, because I do LOVE the vector style. I guess I'm waiting on getting a digital tablet, which I'm doing in the near future. Maybe today even...

BIGBC In reply to MarsNeverSleeps [2008-03-12 22:59:24 +0000 UTC]

imo mice are better for vectors everyone has personal preference tho.
look forward to seein some vectors from u.

MarsNeverSleeps In reply to BIGBC [2008-03-13 01:09:01 +0000 UTC]

Really? I would've figured it was more tedious, but you're right, everyone has their own preference.

Well, either way I got a tablet today after all, after like 3 years in the making. I'm sure I'll experiment with both methods and see which feels better. I might shoot a question or two your way when the time comes...if that's cool.

BIGBC In reply to MarsNeverSleeps [2008-03-13 19:07:54 +0000 UTC]

yeah, i reken tablets are more free flowing natural movements like pixel painting sorta thing.
but the mouse can be more precise and under control like vector working.


which tablet u get ?
Im happy to try + answer your questions =] but check this guy out ~mkhwd . i know him outta DA and hes a real vector beast

MarsNeverSleeps In reply to BIGBC [2008-03-14 02:18:23 +0000 UTC]

I don't even know how illustrator reacts to tablets in terms of vector making, so I'll have to check it out. The mouse might be better after all.

I got the Intuos3 6x8. It's beautiful.

Cool, man. If I got any I'll def shoot 'em up your way. And yo, thanks for the link. I just glanced through his gallery, and it looks beastly indeed. I'm gonna check it out.

BIGBC In reply to MarsNeverSleeps [2008-03-14 10:03:07 +0000 UTC]

There is a drawing tool in illustrator that would work well with the tablet.
I do all my stuff with the pen tool, i just prefer the way it works.

ever tried corel draw ? its worth a look
pretty sure u can download a trial from Corel.

My tablets a cheap ass thing, but it works well and its big so i like it =]

MarsNeverSleeps In reply to BIGBC [2008-03-17 16:16:01 +0000 UTC]

I've heard of it, but have never actually tried Draw. I will definitely look into that one, thanks.

I feel tools are just that: tools. As long as it can get the job done, the rest just depends on your proficiency.

BIGBC In reply to MarsNeverSleeps [2008-03-17 18:03:53 +0000 UTC]

Its def. worth lookin into

i gotta agree. tried one of these tho : [link] and man is it a tool worth having (i wish, the price tag is steep)

MarsNeverSleeps In reply to BIGBC [2008-03-19 00:33:47 +0000 UTC]

Whoooo. That's the next "dream." It definitely seems like an incredible experience. When I was buying mine, the dude mentioned the Cintiq, and we both looked at each other like "tchhh, maybe next time."

How was using it? Lucky man.

BIGBC In reply to MarsNeverSleeps [2008-03-19 11:11:40 +0000 UTC]

It was awesome, drawing straight into the screen is so nice
i know loads of people who dislike it though cause its so big (21" screen) so theyve gotta do big arm movements, feels natural to me =]

I was lookin at Universities and one of them (my 2nd choice) had a room full of them . . . it was beautiful

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

MarsNeverSleeps In reply to BIGBC [2008-03-20 00:15:55 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I'd figure it'd feel more natural too. Unless they are purely digital. They have that smaller version, too.

Wow, hope you get into your first choice, but even if you end up going to your second, you definitely can't lose! If I stepped into a room like that, I know I'd shed a tear.

BIGBC In reply to MarsNeverSleeps [2008-03-22 23:14:19 +0000 UTC]

the smaller one is like havin a 15" screen tho. not fun

cheers man =] yeah it should be good

Thanks so much, kind sir. I love inking. It's painstaking and I always get so nervous and tense during it, cos one small botch and it can lead to disaster, but i love it so.
