Description

Finally the completed inks! I only had a few hours a day to dedicate toward this piece for the past week. Hopefully now people will more be able to tell the two figures apart more easily. Since they have similar textures it was a challenge ensuring they didn't bleed into one another too much. Hopefully I succeeded in some small way. T.T

I made Mortanis' scythe with a jagged serrated edge. Its a horrible weapon that wont make clean cuts. Just imagine the sound of each tooth grinding through your bones very slowly. >_~

Kul'nar had some really challenging features to ink. I wanted to have a ghostly fire emanating from her eyes so I had to go with minimal ink in that area to ensure the coloring stage wouldn't be more difficult than necessary. At this point though I'm uncertain that I'll be able to accomplish the proper effect. T.T Its also the reason why I went so minimalistic with the background... the color will be doing most of the talking in that area.

I think I'll be experimenting with a couple of different color schemes with this piece over time. I'll at least get one made with their natural colors, perhaps one in a near monochromatic, (maybe green), and perhaps one on sepia tones.

This was a tricky piece to ink thanks to how complicated I made their designs. I could only work on each figure in small blocks of time until there was too much wet ink to move on, then I'd alternate to the other figure. It did some good in helping me save time as by the time one was too wet the other was already dry.

If you have any suggestions that could make the piece better I'll be more than happy to give them a try. ^_^
