Artist's Comments

Aquila - Latin for 'Eagle'

鷲 - Washi - Kanji for 'Eagle'

I shall now proceed to beat you over the head with a wooden bat with 'eagle' written across it.

All silliness aside, I just wanted to have a bash at using a very strong primary colour scheme. Yellow is a remarkably fun colour to work with. ^__^ I was also having fun using my G pen. I normally use the tachikawa all-in-one pen since the ink stays clear and doesn't bleed too much (I need to buy better quality paper...). The only drawback of the all-in-one pen is that it doesn't have the same range as the traditional nib pens in line thicknessess... and the only drawback of the traditional pens is that they bleed - quite badly sometimes.

*sigh* There must be a happy medium somewhere.

Anyway, this is a new character I'm introducing from the original story. There was an earlier version of him here: [link] - bottom left. I'm of the belief that every story worth its salt lick has to have at least one vaguely good-looking villain. So here he is - Aquila: Eagle of the East.

Time: A couple of hours.

Mediums: G pen, Epson Scanner, Painter 8, Photoshop 7

I keep seeing amazing, ever so tempting art in regards to "the story" and I've gotta ask what ever other bugger is asking; where does this mythical beast reside? (Or, since I'm getting the impression that it is very much a work in progress, where do you plan to post the text?)

Oh, and Aquila? Truly tempting.

I love your choice of colour. The pose makes your character look so mysterious. The outfit is nice too, I'm a fan of buckles ^ ^

If you ever do find that happy medium, let me know. I gave up on pens ages ago, for that reason. *gets 'eagle' beaten into her forehead* Ow. I'm seeing birdies now. Heh. I like your color choice, and the shading of it is very nicely done. Me likes.

No artist is normal; if he were, he wouldn't be an artist. Normal men don't create works of art. They eat, sleep, hold down routine jobs and die. You are hypersensitive to life and nature;that's why you are able to interpret the rest of us.
