redsonja – Almond Ink

This is my 1st “She-Devil with a Sword” job as well as my 1st crack at inking Ed’s sister Mariah. But it’s my 3rd commission for Steve Pillarella. I’ve used this 2-ply board before…it has no brand name and it’s an off-white so whenever I used white correction fluid it shows up like fluorescent spots emphasizing my mistakes! Anyway, I inked this mostly in marker, only using the brush for some contour lines. This 11X17 image of Red Sonja was done 7/18/2007.
