Description A big ink sketch that I did with rapidographs... it's probably about 14 inches wide, maybe about 17 tall or so. It's pretty big. I like how messy it turned out though.

Comments and Favs appreciated! Full view for full effect! Thanks!

I love it. I like the detail and the messiness. The shadow behind her almost looks like a Dragon. I'm not sure if you meant that but its good.

.........

bloody hell I would probably shoot myself if I worked that big.

How did you get such a nice, clean scan of it?

And on another note, I think the random sketchy feel is simply wonderful, the design is great, composition excellent.... just a superb job all around.

I scan in pieces and put it back together in photoshop. It's good for print resolution too. X3 This way, the 20x30 prints and such won't look bad.

Wow. I love all the detail you put into this, and I just ADORE the sketchy, spidery look you gave it. It just gives the image a sense of energy, IMO, because of all the stray lines going wherever they please. Like the linework has a life of its own, sort of.

I think part of the reason this is so attractive to me is because it's sketchy and not 100% mapped out. Just my opinion on it though. X3
