A collaboration project with Nex, an old friend and fellow artist (NexusDX on deviantart (http://nexusdx.deviantart.com).

What we did was alternate between pencilling and inking. One would do a few pages of pencils, then hand the book off to the other to ink the new pencils and then lay down some more pencil, then hand it off for inking, etc.

Pencils on the left, Inks on the right.

The purpose of this was to practice our inking technique by trying to interpret the pencils in the case of vague gestures and augment the pencils in the more refined drawings.

This is page 2. The first page, at this point, has not yet been inked. This is my pencil work of one of my characters, a draconid female by the name of Denial. Though rather refined, this was still a relatively quick pencil drawing, so a lot of things are off. Also, it's kind of old, but I figured it was nice enough to upload. The poem is also mine.
