Almost done with the inking on this one. Still gotta do the hair on the mans arms, the tiles on the floor, and i havnt decided if i should do the shading on the girls face with ink or with color (thats the reason for the dotted lines on her face). Im afraid if i do it with ink, itll be too harsh looking and ruin the picture. What do you guys think?

Wow, excelsior, you've outdone yourself this time. That is my all time favorite cover, and my favorite book in my collection, and your rendition is spot on. Can't find even the smallest fault in the perspective, drapery or text. Awesome! (worship)

Fantastic job!

 

If you're going for authenticity, then do the line work inking on the face. But I personally never liked the inking on the face - it was the one thing that didn't work for me on that cover. So if you're looking to make me happy, then either do an ink wash or use colour for the shading on the face. lol

Thanks guys. I appreciate the comments.

 

This will go up for sale along with the recreation of TEC 31 I did a couple weeks back probably tomorrow afternoon/early evening in the gold/silver/bronze forum. Stop on by and pick one up and help out a starving artist. (thumbs u
