Themed images. Inktober and Halloween in the same combination. How is this ink? The whole thing is! Colored inks. I leave them hidden in a box, but every once in a while they come out to play. Darn things don't scan well. Between the paper texture it picks up, and the super reflectiveness of the black ink, never fond of scanning my traditional work.
Anyway, Day of the Dead work, since everyone eventually does one of these, at least if they're heavily into makeup. In my case, it was a suggestion to try this. I was going to do this with my major 'reaper' character (Mewblade), but I actually do have one proper grim reaper character that is also a girl. Annabelle Mortis with a crown of roses, and her proper reaper outfit (if latex is considered proper), then makeup since... well, she usually wears a lot anyway, and she's pretty pale. She loves dead things. This just seems plausible to me in a way.
Drew this all in pencil, and then straight-up painted the thing. Lesson learned, the brown ink will kill images. Bottom-right peonies nearly destroyed this drawing. But put up with it, and the rest of the image is pretty good, minus shiny black. How is it that watercolors, pencil crayons and acrylics all don't have weird stage altering properties based on color? Why must inks be so bleeping fickle? On the other hand, inks get a vibrance you will never get with any other medium, so yes, what you see here is really what is in real life. On paper, this picture looks like a print out.
Either way, fun experiment (minus the brown). I should do more inks. They're so brilliant!
Colored inks.
For those who want to know more about Aons, Forces, and my character, Fatality...
