Description Okay, working on YET ANOTHER pic, once more potraying his fantastic little vampire OC Lani, from his comic project :iconfangsofangels:, but this time I fancied trying something a little more challenging, so when I came across this little piece going through some of my old dA pic downloads, I fancied giving it a go doing some clean-up pencils so I could colour it. Hence [link] became this. I fiddled about with the original a little so I could print myself a little starting point to work on (top left), then, refining the pencils directly on the printout, I had my own tightened rough pencils worked out (top right). Finally I worked up some clean finished pencils on tracing paper (main), and so it's ready to go to inks. I tried hard to get Foo's original quick sketch to look as good as possible, and I hope I've succeeded. It'll be interesting to see what he thinks ...

original pencils [link] by Lani is very much HIS character.

It was an interesting experiment, I'm enjoying working on this one. Hopefully I can do justice to the lines in the colours, and of course as always I hope Foo likes it ... perhaps even more with this one since I've refined one of his sketches ...

Yes. So very true. Indeed, many of the Them I run into day to day are a bunch of total MORONS ...

Grigori77 In reply to immortalmina [2011-02-06 02:57:07 +0000 UTC]

I think it's cuz they're a Them, rather than a Him or a Her. Mob mentality rather than individual intelligence, per chance?

Yeah, well he's liked the previous pure colour work I've done on his more finished lines, so I guess the signs should be good ...
