Description
The original for this piece was done freehand with rapidograph pens on a sheet of lined notebook paper. ...Back when I had way too much time on my hands (and not much common sense).I decided to clean out the background and add the sepia look, but the linework is essentially the same.
The concept was a war-weary battle-scarred spaceman using a somewhat anachronistic weapon for a walking cane.
(circa 1979)

Thanks for the enthusiastic compliment (and the fave). The majority of my two-dimensional art used to be this type of work (line art) I've moved into so many other mediums and techniques that I often lose sight of my "roots". Glad you enjoyed

Your most welcome - you have a nice gallery... I too work in lots of different mediums, nothing quite so large as large as your bull skull [awesome]...

I love the sepia tone in this. I think it make this piece a bit more interesting. The line work is amazing enough though. I really love it! So many nice details.

Thank you for the kind words (and fave). Glad you enjoyed. This piece dates from back when all I needed was a fine-point pen, paper (of any kind, including paper bags and napkins), and lots of patience

Hehe no problem. The more traditional approach is so interesting but it's also amazing what people can do now with technology! I try to keep a balance of both though.

Thanks! I haven't done a lot of (technical pen) line art recently, but the urge resurfaces from time to time.

This is very cool. I enjoy the classic look. I am a big fan of Druillet as well...

I like it, reminds me of the work of an early heavy metal magazine artist
Phillipe Druillette? ( dunno if I spelled that right )

You are right about the Druillet resemblance. I was a big fan of Heavy Metal (before it devolved into a gratuitous porn rag). It probably influenced a lot of my artwork. Thanks for the comment.
