Inky

tree_kraken_inks_scan_730

I did end up turning this creature into a full size illustration, since I picked up some new inking tools on Tuesday and this was the first opportunity I had to work on a piece since then. I’m fairly pleased with my results for the first time out. Of course I can instantly see things that need improving and where my line weights are heavy in the wrong places at times. Last night, though, I promised a scan on Twitter, so here we are. Funny how we regret things in the morning, eh?

Just kidding. Here’s a cheeky little in progress shot:

    Thanks! Believe it or not I just wanted to draw a tree, a bird and a kraken and so the arboreal kraken was born!

    Oddly enough an author friend of mine created D&D stats for such a beasty last year some time. Co-evolution is beautiful: 4th ed menace by Nathan Crowder
