"Black Dagger"
My orc piece for the Timberline Draw Blog is entitled "Black Dagger". I did this with a Pentel Pocket Brush Pen and some Pitt artist pens on 8"x10" illustration board. Hope you enjoy it!
Thanks, my man! I darkened it up a bit in the scanner. The grays are all cool grays. I probably should have used the warm grays instead. Ah well. You can't tell now, right? LOL
I was tempted to outline the character with a white pen but decided he has enough contrast. His axe could use a little more, however. Maybe a highlight somewhere would have been helpful. Live and learn.
Love your inking mang! Awesome atmosphere on this. Almost Orc Noir lol. Great piece.
