While i'm getting the new art scanned and cleaned-up i'll post a few more old pics....
This is an Azha and Hannsie attempted page back from around '99 or so...The characters had been around for a few years with rough story idea....thought i'd try a test page..
i had been flirting with using Vaughn Bode's boarder style in some pics (it's as much my heritage style as Kirby, Frazetta, Mucha, Gaughan, etc) - but i wasn't sure how much of the style felt right to use - what part fit into my own sensibilities....So here was a typical Bode style page - four same size panels with open boarders, word balloons to go above each panel....
i didn't finish the page because it felt wrong - it was too close to Bode's approach...i would rather vary the panel size and have the word balloons inside the panels (and yes sometimes Bode did that as well...)....
Part of doing art is that we get all these hand-me-down clothes....figuring out what to use, what to change, what to toss....
Still, i'm rather fond of this failed page, and will re-do and finish it up sometime later this year if possible. :)
Approx 8 1/2 x 6 inches
Sakura and Staedtler pens on paper

Gawd, do I envy your skills with a pen.. :) I think you did an incredible job with he landscapes/backgrounds in these. And yes, as you mentioned about Vaughn Bode, the borders you did in these are very well balanced and really draw in the viewer(I know.. I know.. like you need a stranger to tell you that..) ;)
Thanks for sharing with us. It's always nice to look back at an artists older works from time to time.

A good pen helps a lot - The pen used for the boarders was fresh, an even line with good ink flow...The pen used for the fine lines in panel one was old. the fine nib worn down to a needle, with slight ink flow....So cultivate your pens, train them, same goes for tradition pen&ink nibs - crowquill nibs need to be broken in to become flexible, etc etc...Trail and error...
