For a final project in an drawing class at Ferris State University we were asked to do 3 images in a series.

I drew the sketches onto 8.5"x11" paper and lined them up. then transfered the images to cardstock. Then, after taping the edges down good on my artboard, I worked the ink around like watercolors. Even though each was done seperately, their tones were pretty similar. I think I did the whole project in a week. There was minimal warping because I taped the cardstock down. Overall, I think it came out pretty well. I have a better version of them "together" on my comp, but it's lost in the clutter.. (and I think the file size is somewhere around 900MB)

Having used brushed ink ONCE, I decided I could do this on a much larger scale.. thrice!

All characters are MINE! :D

Yes, they're from a Legend of the Five Rings RPG. No, the Tiger Clan isn't official, but they SHOULD be! *L* Moonshine-makers!
