Tom Smith commissions
Forgive the light, grey pencil photocopy (top left) but Brett draws with a very hard pencil that isn't easy to reproduce. I had the same problem, but moreso,with the next entry by him, Arabian Knight. These are my first inks over Brett who is one of the west coast-style or 'Image-style' artists so inking someone like him is a pleasant challenge but it's also like thinking with another part of my brain:-) This art is normally inked by a quill-adept inker who can ink in, as Al Milgrom labels it, the 'morse code' inking approach, with all of the 'dots & dashes'. Besides the fact that I've not quite adapted to that approach, the board used for the commission bled with any quill stroke I made. I used some brush for the feathering but I used mostly marker and tried to simulate the quill/'Image' inking style without being obsessive about it. It almost killed me with the infinite straps & buckles but this Giantman commission (Bill Foster aka Black Goliath, not Hank Pym) was completed on October 2, 2003.
