Next page I'm working on. This is from a photo of an alley in Bratislava. For some reason, I'm really happy with this drawing even though it's so simple and has no central focus.

Reworked the last one in brown ink and watercolor wash just for fun. Found out the new inks are waterproof (yay) and of various opacities (boo). Still, was fun to do.

Letting myself get distracted by designing images from Tolkien's, "The Hobbit." Dwarfs! Well, Dwarves, properly. Just a bit of fun, but I could easily let myself do the whole book, had I time.

Found out that Speedball makes colored, acrylic inks today. Bought be a bottle of blue to try out. Seems like cool stuff! Fairly opaque and flows well. I'm betting it works with cel vinyl like a dream, or so I hope. These are just some sketches inked to see how the stuff works. Please don't stop making inks. Ever.

Hey, post 200! Got the quartet halfway colored. Lots and lots of little windows... and whose fault is that?

EDIT: finished the rest of this today.

This is what that last entry was for. It took me a long time to get the background and foreground elements finished and inked and then scanning was a nightmare as I drew them as I did the Tamino element; on two pieces of taped together 11x14 board. This is obviously without color, and the foreground elements are hollow and hard to see. Coloring is next and is going to take a very long time.

One piece of three for the next quartet. This one will span all four pages. As such, I had to tape together two pieces of 11x14 board to make this. The two background pieces will have to be made the same way. Lots and lots of buildings. Hyooj!
