Inktober 2015 - Day 18 : Brush Inking And Ink WashThe Crow Boys Natural Habitat Is Rooftops And Windowsills.Whats

Inktober 2015 - Day 18 : brush inking and ink wash The Crow Boy’s natural habitat is rooftops and windowsills. What’s this? A proper background? Astonishing! Although not completely without laziness, as this roof is basically the roof of my local church.

Inktober 2015 - Day 29 : cartridge pen Lena is showing her brother how to tell fortunes with normal playing cards. It’s a real divination system, so bonus points if you know what the spread says. Although I had trouble drawing the cards that small so I’ll just tell you that it’s reversed ace of spades/10 of hearts/4 of clubs.

Inktober 2015 - Day 17 : ink and water They’re lost. I’m trying to develop a technique for doing decent backgrounds with this method, but I haven’t quite managed it yet.

Inktober 2015 - Day 20 : brush pen

Violet taught Khet and Vekh anime poses, but they don’t look as cute when you have terrifying goat eyes. You can get away with adorable vampire teeth though.

I accidentally crippled myself copying up notes yesterday, so I could only manage a line drawing. No cross-hatching for you two. These two also don’t have the masses of piercings and weird haircuts that other Vrega have because they’re very devout Khukh-worshippers (Khukh is the god of nature) and are forbidden from cutting their hair or deliberately harming themselves in any way. Perfect for when the thought of detail work makes my hands cry. They opted out of the Trial for religious reasons (it involves ritual mutilation) so they’ve started adult life in one of the lower castes and work as general dogsbodies like Meruch (who took the Trial but performed poorly). The double canines and hourglass pupils are benign mutations that are pretty common in their clan, and are thought to be a blessing from Khukh. Violet likes these two because they’re some of the only people on the ship who can give a decent piggy-back ride (no spikes), and at ‘only’ 6′ Khet is one of the very few who are less than a foot taller than her.

Inktober 2015 - Day 15 : ink and water It’s nice to make new friends. I was short of time yesterday and realised I hadn’t drawn the mirror twins yet this year! Have they disturbed that grave by climbing on it, or were they attracted by the already restless dead?

Inktober 2015 - Day 21 : mapping pen and grey pen Lottie isn’t sure how to feel about all these new friends. My hand is still slightly crippled, so nothing complicated yet. Although having said that, my goodness those crows were a pig to fill in, even with a brush.
