Illustration Friday: "Smoke"



I haven't put up any art to participate in "Illustration Friday" for quite a while but a cropping from an oooold piece of mine just fit too well NOT to participate.

I should have 3 new pieces done by the middle of next week and then a fairly big update on my website will follow.

We saw "The Prestige" this past week. VERY good movie by a truly amazing cast (and the writer/director is awesome too!). I ended up being kind of a butthead though, as I guessed a couple of the twists about halfway through the movie and instead of keeping them to myself I whispered them to Laini (-- I couldn't help it though! I was like "A-HA! I've GOT it!") Anyhow, she was WAY more forgiving of my spoiler than I would have been (see previous post about how much I hate spoilers! :) Everyone should go out and see the movie if you haven't (in my humble opinion).

Very nice.

Beautiful work.

I like the way the articles on the table are almost detail-less... it's a great contract to the rich, dark background and the other ink work.

I'm a fan!

That was very spoily of you and if I were Laini I'd be honkin, steamy mad as a jiggyjot at you.

Great drawing, you did an excellent job on this.

Wow! The angle and perspective are just delightful. It's like there's a camera pushing into this guy's face, and he's kinda flinching back, but also defiant. Very cool.

And your washes are out of this world. Wow. Wish I could illustrate like this!

PS: Here's my take on 'Smoke'.
