I do a few sketches first to get an idea how I want them. Like comparing show and toy looks, scrabbling together what I like from both. I also research the animal they turn into a bit. I sketch and ink in one go. It takes a little less than an hour, a bit more with erasing and scanning. Coloring takes one or two hours depending on the nature of the layout (Rattraps took the longest). My process have really sped up now that I have a tablet. Dinobot is coming this or next week. Allready did Terrorsaur. Check the DA link in my sig, I have them all in a subfolder in my gallery.
I hadn't seen your work b4, these are fabulous!!! I at Rattrap!! You sketch and ink all of these by hand or use software???..just curious?? Love'em all!!!
I sketch and ink by hand. These are mainly brush, a bit of g-pen and some marker. Hmm... Maybe I should update a bit. Started Transmetals a while ago.
