Another ink practice...

[telophase]

I thought long and hard about what to do. More scenery? Difficult flowing clothing? Elegant and delicate character design?




Oh shut up. You'd have done the same, too.

Original:	Mine:

At any rate, I was working off a *very* blown up, *very* fuzzy copy, so a lot of what I was doing with the shadows, bruises and assorted contusions was guesswork. Not too shabby, although I overdid it in some bits and underdid it in others. Ah well.

I'm not an artist but wow. Looks pretty damn good to me. (The inking, that is. Sanzo's backside *always* looks good. ^___^)

Total perv remark: I must say, in your version, Sanzo's butt isn't clenched as much.

(Yes, Rachel is making me post this)

...hey, you're right! It's not!

Nice work! Yours is a lot cleaner looking..it's a different feeling, but I think the different toning changes it too XD Omg can't keep from staring at his ass!

I actually like your less dotty version much better.

So, what is this from exactly... and where can I find it? ;)

[telophase.livejournal.com]

It's from the Burial arc in Saiyuki Reload. :D I've forgotten exactly which volume, 2 or 3, when we're going into Sanzo's backstory when he was wandering around and looking for Koumyo' killer. This panel is when some monks look in on him and are shocked at his scars and how violent a life he seems to have led.

Fufu, lovely job. I'd have been terribly distracted, trying to do that panel. XD

[telophase.livejournal.com]

Mna, it was a tough job, but someone had to do it.

You jest about what you chose to practice your inking with, but I can see that this is an extraordinarily difficult panel to do.
Trying to convey the motion of water as well as the tensing of muscles and the bone structure showing through the flesh.
My God.
Wonderful job. In some ways, yours is better than the original.
(I especially like the lines for the very top of where the water is splashing up inside the bucket. Very minor point, I know, but I noticed it.)

Thank you! XD

[mistressrenet.livejournal.com]

Hell yes, I would have.

The Sanzo ass trumps all.
