Description So, a very long time ago I found thsi nifty artist named ~guacamole who became the still nifty artist * papayafingers and who draws very elegant things, puts them up and then takes them down again. She had done this very loose pencil rendering of Uma Thurman from Kill Bill which I felt had endless possibilities ink-wise.

For those who do not know, I secretly fantasize about moonlighting as a comic inker.

I threatened Ms. papya that I might take a stab at inking her image, and she did not seem to mind, so I am throwing it up so she can see what I have initially done (there are about 4 other versions in various states of completion laying about). Unfortunately, I used an ink that just bled too much with this, so I didn't nd up straying too far from her pencils (which may be a good thing in many eyes, considering I can pretty much create massive ink entropy if I get half a chance).

It is in scraps because I did not want to give the impression that I was absconding with her work and claiming as my own.

India ink, crowquill pen, some gouache and acrylic ink for tone + digital

Hope you make it as a comic inker!! I'd love to see that happen for you. Anyway, awesome job on the inkwork on this one!! The different weights of your ink lines is great: especially like the work on the inside line of the legs: really excellent. This looks really great: you did a wonderful job with the ink!!

Oh good. I'll put up the second one as soon as I figure out how the hell to finish it. I won't put all of them up as its a bit overkill, but I am hoping one will finish cleanly.

I always liked Aeon-Flux, particularly the early shorts in Liquid Television.
