This is a piece I did for John Arcudi, a favorite writer of mine. I knew he likes animals, so I thought this might be a fun way to combine a cool animal with a B.P.R.D character that he’s spent so much time writing. The first picture is a gestural thumbnail. This, to me, is the most important part of a drawing. Then we have the pencils, in which I tried to amplify the forward motion of both figures. I also changed the angle of the spear to better fit the dimensions of the paper. Then we have the inks, and I tried my best to retain the fluid energy of the pencils.



Finally, we have the colors, which I took a stab at. This is the fourth or fifth piece I’ve colored, so I’m still trying to figure some things out. Overall, I’m quite pleased with this piece. I put everything I have into it.
