About my design

by pajamasquid
Two ink colors for the horse, and superglow ink for the skeleton scene. Dark gray or silver shirt color. (The green on the non-skeleton horse is just normal ink)



Unfortunately I ran out of time to finish the last part of this design, though hopefully I’ll have it done by the time this is posted, and I’ll up the finished version in comments. I’m sure you can already get a pretty good impression of what the finished skeletons will look like, as the first half of the image is done. The unfinished parts are at least completely laid out.



The entire glowing layer was kind of a last minute addition, hence it not being done. This all began with a sketch, a drawing of an evil horse I drew one day when I felt like drawing an evil horse. Drawing is such a spontaneous but powerful force, and sometimes the mind and the hand just sync and every artist knows great things happen then.

Hey guys, thanks for all the awesome comments! I don't have the glow part finished yet, sorry. I hurt my arm and haven't been able to draw much. But it'll be up sooner or later.

So very very awesome. Love the glowing skeleton. If only it could be put on the same shirt, glowing in the dark, while the actual horse is only visible under light.

This is amazing! The drawing of Le Cheval is stunning, with the mysterious green wisps. Then the glow image is like icing on the cake. So much action with this mob of demons! True art!

You spelled genius wrong, Genious. There's no way having an enjoyable time drawing could be as big a waste of time as you hanging out here and posting crap all over the place.



But anyway.



Thanks again everyone else for all the awesome comments!
