And Elfie is now complete.
This is a torn alter, which means we tore the paper right off the token and then went to it with ballpoints and Copics. The costuming is a nod to Deedlet from Lodoss, dudelette.

Another design from the millions of scraps, twinkling away like little stars.

A piece for Inktober '14, G-Pen boot camp. I really wanted to cut loose with the costuming, but then didn't take enough care with the posing.
I've been trying to draw those shorts for years, and we're kinda getting there.
Overall, vaguely inspired by Misty from Pokemon, of course.

Another little splash pitch. The idea is Sundoof is hanging with a Jeskai-ish monk monkey, but not really taking it seriously or getting easily distracted or whatevz.

Here's the gussied-up version of our ink-bleeding experiment. I can see this working great for skin, like how soft the collar bone area came out.
Starting to get the hang of brushing in the white-out, too, so doubly not a loss here.

Here is a fateful experiment to see how inks interact with Copics. This brand, while great for its delicate four-color ability, melts out like watercolor pencils under Copics. Possibly usable, since we can then draw fresh "strict" lines on top of "melted" lines for neat effects, but kinda too risky to use on a real piece at the moment.

So this is our Eldrazi Scion torn alter token. I wanted to go with something loosey-goosey since I was testing out my fudepens with Copics.
This handled cakes of Copics just famously, so I'd say it's a pretty reliable ink going forward.

Another early torn alter test, this one seeing how a purely brush pen piece would go, with the intention to then see how these handle inks.
Super worried about inks bleeding...so far I've found only one ink type to bleed, but fortunately not this one.

One of my first torn alters, to test how our different inks interact on the course paper, and to see how detailed we can get with live inks, meaning no pencils, just sketching off the dome.
Vaguely Chandra-esque, but the point was something mech-y since it's a thopter token.
Plan to use this as a guinea pig for marker color tests.

Here's something quite different. Rejected sketches to a splash image concept. I did these totally digital, something I rarely do, but the KNKL method helped a lot. I took inspiration from the One Piece Color Walk illustrations and stuff like that.
I imposed an arbitrary theme, a New Years' monkey buddy hanging out with the main dood, since these were pitched around January '16. This episode is them competing in a Japanese-style school field day.

Inktober '14 was about getting miles on the G-Pen, and this piece was geared towards doing something weird with the hand.
Oh, hey this is posted in actual Inktober '14. Planned that all along...
