Description
My submission for the 100 theme challenge with the topic "tower".I oriented the picture's meaning by the tower tarot card, where it stands for collapse, change and renewal: [link]
(Sorry if my interpretation is too random, I am no expert in tarot cards.)
I thought the theme of the tarot card would match well with Atemu's end in the Egypt Arc.
The tools this time were kind of an experiment, since I used copic markers and colored ink for the outlines. I am still unsure whether it worked out OK or not, but well I tried something new.
If anyone wants to know why I could not submit this yesterday: It still looked like this [link] minus the hand, puzzle and some corrections on his body.

Thank you for your comment, I am happy that you like my art!
As for the ink, I used:
- golden yellow ink by Rohrer & Klinger,
- deep red ink by Winsor & Newton
- brown ink by Koh-I-Noor Hardthmuth
- ultramarine ink by Winsor & Newton
- black Indian Ink by Royal Talens
I do not especially prefer a certain brand, but Winsor & Newton have the biggest sortiment if of coloured ink I can get here. As for the black ink, I like Talens' very much, it dries fast, is waterproof and non-fading.

Oh, I really am no expert in using ink, sorry. As for the brushes, I use those with synthetic bristles and the smallest size (0-1) and I bought different brushes for the basic colors. But since Winsor & Newton ink is pretty watery, you can easily clean your brushes and I think, you could use the same brush for different colors. For my picture, I used a G-pen nib with the ink and rinsed it out before using the next color and the ink is still fine, even when the nip did not get completely clean.
