Another entry!? Yes. I guess the alternative title for this piece would be 'Kate really, really wants a new tablet' hahahaha.

I named it 'wildcard', since really I didn't plan to enter again. This was just another sketch done when drawing the pencils for my first entry. It came out pretty nicely, so I decided to use it to experiment with inking techniques. Kind of trying to get similar inking to the CLAMP manga 'Tsubasa Reservoir' here, and seeing just what I can do making custom pens in Manga Studio. I did try colouring this, but it looks stronger as line art, so I kept it very pared down in the end.
I wouldn't say this is better than my other entry, but it came out kind of nicely for an experiment, worthy of uploading, I think.

Hey great work here, I love the contrast between the stark and elegant black and white drawing and the colours of the backdrop.

Just dropped over from the SD forums (I'm azuredragon over there) and I like your gallery a lot ^^

I love the lineart. It does work very well alone - what you've done with it is really effective!

Thanks. I'm a big fan of line art. It's part of the reason I totally fangirl over CLAMP manga! haha.

I like the magicalness around her hand. She really fits your personal style more than the Prince I think.

Yeah, the Prince was an experiment with finer lines, but I think chunky lines are more 'me', huh? Good enough for Jack Kirby and CLAMP, good enough for me!

I can't wait to try to do this inking style on a comic. I think this style would work better in a comic than it does for a stand alone image.

Speaking of stylish visuals, I really dig this image the way it is with the faint trace of background and the bit of color mixed in with the B&W.
