Artist's Comments

So I'm supposed to be doing these other drawings and instead I sit down and play with a Conte pencil. Vaguely inspired by pzb's lovely realistic renderings of InuYasha characters -- this isn't really realistic in proportion or style, but the shading is ... vaguely realistic. OK, so it doesn't match. I need stuff for A-Kon anyway.

Gojyo from Kazuya Minekura's Saiyuki, as if the ginormous pants didn't clue you in already. He doens't look very awake, hence the title, and I think he's about to set his hair on fire.

And I'll have you know that the time that I spent drawing this I was watching Wild Arms and I don't like it one bit.

Conte pencil on charcoal paper, blending with a paper stump. About an hour to do.

Very nice use of the conte pencils and nice pose as well. How did you keep the conte from rubbing off onto the scanner?

thanks! :) I really liked *PZB's charcoal/pencil renderings and thought I'd try the same thing, but I had this red Conte pencil I'd never used before just waiting to be tried out...

thanks. :) The paper is 16 x 20" in dimensions, and the glass of my scanner is receded a wee bit and only 8.5 x 11", so when the paper is sitting on it, it's not actually touching the glass.

That's about the only *good* thing about my scanner. I've got some osrt of haze or discoloration on part of the glass *inside* it, and the stupid case is molded around it or something so that I can't get into it to clean the glass without breaking it, it compresses everything it scans 3% in one direction, and I think the scanning assembly is rotated ever-so-slightly off so that when I scan something in two parts and try to match it together, it's always a hassle. When I get a job, I think my first major purchase post-first-paycheck is going to be a new scanner.

That's incredible! Mmmn, I remember that you try out a lot of different styles every time I see your work, everything you do seems to be such an experiment for you, you're trying out everything, I wish I had that kind of boldness, i'm afraid to go beyond what I know, either because it's too expensive, or i'm afraid i'm just going to ruin it or flunder it up somehow.

Saiyuki? Right? Is that what he's from...? I remember seeing the anime. I don't remember liking it .......lol.....but I saw the manga recently, and remember drooling over the cover, because it was so darn pretty.... anyways, good work.
:iconeikuu:
Aah, understood. I have to do something similar to that with one of my sketchbooks cuz it's about 2 inches wider and longer than my scanner. But considering the condition that your scanner's in...yeah, I agree that you should get a new one. o_o I've been using my HP scanner for about 4 years now and have been lucky that it's still surviving. It does cut off about a couple centimeters on the left and bottom side.

Very nice style, quite realistic in my opinion (no, not just the shades!! :D ).... Kinda funny that his trousers seem too big for him... :P ;)

Very nice job, interesting image! :)
