I was lucky to have been commissioned to create this piece featuring Lord Kitagawa, first seen in the Red Koi Giant! Vol. I. I wanted to show a little bit of the process laying out perspective and fundamental shapes with light 2H pencil, then using darker leads to pick my favorite lines, and then selective inks to lock in the smaller details I don't want to lose in my long process of pencil and erase, pencil and erase.
I will post the finished piece here!
I have started my next commission and will chart that process as well. Enjoy!
And here we have the final version. I hope you enjoy, GJ!
@Tyler Wentland This just came out perfect! I'm just lost for words. You absolutely portrayed my vision and my expectations are blown sky high. Lord Kitagawa is one beast of a character and your ability to illustrate him in this way is beautifully done along with your amazing talent to also illustrate outstanding animals.
From the bottom of my heart I thank you sir! Much love to you Tyler Wentland.
Such an incredible piece Tyler and of course this needed to be illustrated by you first. Such a delight to see your WIP! Much love sir! You Rock!
This is sick.
