Illo for "Initiation"

by Eregyrn

Click the picture to view full size.
Did this as a trade with Lyn -- this is an illustration for her story "Initiation", about her character Beetle (foreground) and Thornbow.  I think it could equally well be titled "Better Flirting Through Archery".  Beetle wants Thornbow to make a new bow for her... and that's not ALL she wants...

Still showing the effects of my recovering right hand/wrist, doing this piece involved a lot of shortcuts with the background.  Hint: use brush-tip color markers to draw one or two leafy branches, and one puffy bush, and then use PS to multiply it into something almost like a real background! Voila.

Pentel Pocket Brush-Pen linework, Copic Marker coloring, LOTS of after-effects in Photoshop.
