Description :: fine-liner pen, brush-tip pen ::

R.I.P black brush-tip pen. You will be sorely missed by magnolia_thunder.

Yes, I am sad to say my pen died on me before half Neo's cloak was finished, hence the rubbishness of the colouring. Anyway, I like this. Plus; obsessive manic Neo fangirly-ness! *swoon*
Took a surprisingly long time to do this actually, a couple of hours due to that stupid background He did just have a white background but then in my primitive fangirl brain though 'where will his perfectly defined arm end, when I have rubbed out this pencil?' Hence the printed background, then I had to cut it out with a stupid stanley knife for some reason, because I wasn't thinking properly. Why I was allowed to use it, I don't know. Everyone in my family knows not to let me near; knives, sharp objects including needles, skewers and those odd barbeque things, fire, flammable objects, shatterable objects, valuable objects, drills, chainsaws, saws of any kind and tractors. Does no-one trust me?

I think it looks awesome. You did a great job even though your pen died on you while you were doing it.

Great work!!!...

Thank you very much The films are so great, aren't they, especially 'The Matrix' from a pair of first time directors and they certain proved that with the rest of the trilogy. Have you seen their 'V for Vendetta'? That's meant to be great too.
Thanks for the compliments about the picture

Very nice, the only problem I can see is the fact that you can see the pen lines. Other than that its fantastic, did you draw the green text in the background too.

magnolia-thunder In reply to dnmn89 [2006-04-04 16:11:20 +0000 UTC]

Thank you very much, yeah, it's a pity about the lines. I didn't have a marker and, as you can probably tell due to the distress, my brush-tip pen died and left me with a horrid line-y effect. I didn't actually draw the 'matrix' text, but printed it.
