Got Ink?

I have a real Challenge for you inkers out there. If you can produce a quality ink job of my new Avatar, I'll draw your favorite character in return. No Photshop trickery...I can do that myself. I'm looking for someone that actually enjoys the art of inking. I can send a high res version thru email if anyone is upto the challenge. Thanks.

Ooooh...
like 'for real' ink on paper or digital ink?

I'd prefer old school paper and ink, but I'll accept digital inked if done well. In the past I've had people jump on Photoshop, adjust the brightness and contrast, add an artistic filter and expect a drawing in return...I don't want that. Now if someone is skilled in digitally inking and wants to put some effort into it, then heck ya. I'm sure digital is the way comic book professionals do it now-a-days. I;m just not up to speed on digital inking. I'm sure if done right it takes just as much skill as the ol' pen and paper.

You have thrown down the gauntlet, sir, and I shall pick it up! I'll try my hand at it digitally. Even if you don't like the end result it will be good practice. With a three day weekend coming I should have it done by Monday, but I'm not actually promising it.

I'll print it out at work, and see what i can do over the weekend
I loooove inking over very good pencil work.

Though I did drop it into Photoshop to see how it would look 'inked', so I'm guessing you want lots of shadow eh?

Awesome! I didn't mean to come off to picky or demanding. Chances are I'll be happy with what you do, and wouldn't say otherwise even if I wasn't. Iv'e just been burned in the past. So...what character of yours would you like drawn up?

Do either of you want the full size high res version emailed to you?

Only problem is that I don't have an available scanner when I'm done with it. :-/

S'pose I could mail it to you or something though. Or take a picture of it :P Sooner or later I will be getting a scanner but I don't see one coming in the near future.

You say that like you're shocked.
A sign of the times, I suppose. I feel like such a geezer...

If my ink hasn't all dried out, I might give this a shot.

Awesome! The more the merrier. Don't forget to post a screenie of the character you would like me to draw in return, and ty in advance!


 

Posted

Well.. yeah what else would I use? Sharpies? :P

But let me actually -do- it first. I don't know if I will be able to do it. Not sure if my old Microns are still viable or not (been a good two years since i used them last, but hopefully they're still working!)

I don't even own a real inking pen!

I'll see if I have time to give it a digital shot, though. agentfoo@gmail.com

PM it to me as well. If I get time this weekend, I'd like to take a stab at it.

And yes, I use sharpies (/smirks at Rowr), but get an ink-pen look.


 

Posted

I'd like to try as well, if you don't mind. I'm trying to get back into drawing humanoids, and the practice would be great for me!


 

Posted

Looks like I'll have plenty versions to choose from to color...I'll be drawing alot of charcters too!Please PM me you email address so I can send the high res version. Thanks!

I'm with Rowrsie in that I want to do the job well first before worrying about payment. I'll be out of state for most of the day Monday, so it might be a bit further into the week before I finish it.

That said, I'd like to get a drawing of my Ice/Axe tanker, Commander Canuck, please. Pic 1 and Pic 2.

...you can't see it, but I have a smirk on my face.

Hey now, don't knock the sharpies. I use them for all my figure drawing.

(I don't know why, really I don't.... but I tend to like my drawings better when done with a sharpie than when I do them with pencil.... even if it's full of mistakes I can't erase.)

Wow! That's great man. How'd you do that so fast? The only thing is you left off the shadow lines around his eye and top part of his head...other than that I think it is awesome!

So what character would you like me to draw for you?

Probably would have finished sooner but was talking with someone at the time :P Although it was 3ish AM by that point and I totally spaced the lines over the forehead. I have a slightly unique inking method that made that easy to forget unfortunately.

And...uh, this came with a prize?

~Goes back to first post~

Oh, cool. Pays to read the whole thing doesn't it?

Let me get back to you on that

Well here is the color version. I hurried it a little, but it turned out ok I think. I still wanna see other peoples ink jobs too, so plz don't think I no longer want other versions! This one will work for my Avatar, but the next inked version I get I'm gonna slow down and color it better. Was even thinking trying a sepia toned version. Thanks
