So this is the next step in the illustration I'm working on. The last few days have been spent drawing little squares, cobblestones. There are tons of them. But if I did this any other way, it wouldn't feel as organic. I'm using a screen capture of a 4k video of Tokyo as my background and wanted very much to make a very detailed illustration. This means lots of tedious though rather enjoyable work. Ok, the cobblestones are a bitch but making all the signs and storefronts are tasks I look forward to. At this point, we can see the characters (I traded out the second monkey's head for the original as I liked it better) with their colors, before adjustment and the shadows atop the cobblestones as I have them now. This is going to take awhile, and that's ok. I want this to be something that really catches the eye and also takes some time to look at. I've never made giclee prints before and if I plan to try and sell them, I think they should be something worth looking at. When I'm done, I'll try and post as much of a flow of assembly as possible. For those interested.
