Wonderful, I look forward to seeing it when you post it

OK, then. Let me think and read your thoughts... Bor Gullet will know the truth! (but you won't get that reference yet.)
Hmm, I think it'd be a minor character, somebody in the background who becomes some kind of cult hero.

Porkins?


Or maybe... Nien Nunb?


That second one was hard! Took three attempts and then had to do a bit of pencil under-drawing.

Hey, cool lettering, Kaz! Love the 3D look to those smooth strokes.

Man they are awesome Val! I guess I need to start making some effort if you are

Do you believe in time ... travel?


Bit of a quick one with some sharpie darks. Would have taken longer but I can only hold my breath for so long.

Well... not really ink but only one brush and Eraser. Eraser might be cheating ...

Cool little devil! I've used eraser too - we embrace cheating in this thread!

we sure do

That looks great, segujo. I like how the lines are loose and sketchy at the bottom but become more refined as you move up the figure.


This one has way too much gunk...

Val that is just beautiful

Thank you, Kaz.
Although I wish I could redo that area where the chin transitions into the neck. The chin is a bit too sharp a curve and those coils of hair don't read as well as I'd hoped.
But once you commit to a gunky line you can't take it back.

Where's that "cheating" eraser when you need it?

agree thats a Beautiful piece val!
u used only the dark value? and left the light parts untouched? or u had some Whites to add too... ?
