Description
Wow, been a while since I've uploaded something. Then again, this is really about the only illustration-ish piece I've done lately... and I did it in 3 hours! That's pretty much a record for me. Anyway, tried VERY hard to keep my sketch and my inking/coloring very loose. I'm rather surprised at the outcome.I also layered on a lot of textures and whatnot, most of which I got from Mayang's stock images. I'm starting to really appreciate texture... it's nice.

Oh oh, this should be turned into stationary! Yes! It would look awesome in the corner of a letter or even as a side frame!

Okay so SkyFall definitely has an ending eh?

Yeah. It's a three volume project, 18 chapters.
Don't know how long this next project will be yet... probably about the same length or maybe even a tad shorter.

Very pimp. I love the movement of the whole picture, the way you did the phoenix, and the pose is too awesome for words.

I like the red lines drawn overtop of the darker outlines, and the eraser scribbles in the coloring of the phoenix. And the overall composition, too - adds to the calligraphic feel.
What kind of pen did you ink with?

Photoshop basic hard round. The only thing that I did on paper was the original pencil sketch.

heh, or is it all digital? It looks like it might be, but it's kind of hard to tell.

I really enjoy how you did the fire, and the long tail, the BG too~!

Hey, good job! Sometimes loose and scribbly has its own gritty and organic appeal, and I think you found it. Nice color scheme too.

Wonderfully done! I especially like the way you've drawn the clothing, as well as the strong sense of movement~

Looks good, though three hours seems like a lot for how rough the picture is.

I'm a very slow perfectionist... so working quickly is kind of a new thing. Though, come to think of it, most of the time was used messing with the layers and getting the overall look right.

I've found that sometimes doing the sketchy look and style of illustrations (on PURPOSE) often takes just as long, if not longer than smooth images.. It can be difficult to obtain the perfectly [b]natural[/b]-looking sketchy side of things, especially if that isn't your normal way of drawing. I dunno though, thats just me. ^^

Heh, I'm the same way, a perfectionist, so it's understandable.
