RR Chapter 2: page 4-5 FINISHED

Oh my god, this file almost destroyed my 5+ year old laptop. 500 dpi, textured tones, probably way too many layers...it took 3 minutes to save sometimes. This might be the only two-page spread in t...

RR Chapter 2 -- page 7 rendering test

Hey everybody! 

Since RR Chapter 2 is going to be grayscale rather than color, I wanted to find a way to push my b&w work a little further to make up for it. I've always been a littl...

SAKANA site revamp ideas

I put together a mockup of what I'd like to shoot for with the SAKANA site revamp! My main goal was to add more COLOR to the page, which, I know, sounds a little counterintuitive for a black and wh...

SAKANA 603 (+ new inking tools review)

Sorry I forgot to scan the pencils for this one!
