Michael summons his sword

I really didn't know where to put this piece, as it's almost 50/50 between traditional and digital!

Penciled with non-photo lead & mechanical pencil 0.7, inked with Muji, GFKP and Pentel Superfine brush pens, coloured in Photoshop (although mimicking a marker style).

This is Michael from my little concept comic, which I will hopefully be able to start drawing next year :3 He gets pissed and calls forth his angelic sabre/cutlass!! XD

Yes, it all sounds very weaboo and tried and tested but I promise that I have a few twists up my sleeve XD

Ahem. Anyway, 2010 will be the year of the brush pen! I've recently been inking with this then toning digitally and I like this style muchly. I also think it's a good way to differentiate the look of my future comic from the ultra clean and pretty gothic manga titles out there already XD
