This is pretty cool. I've always liked the mad scientist/professor characters. All you have to work with as a costume is a lab coat so you really have to pick features/accessories carefully. You ever use Koh-i-noor's "RapidoCraft" pens? They're steel tip pens that are refillable and you can use them with really opaque inks.
Hi Adam! ~ I know, I can't even get myself to the nice dentists. Forget one looking like this!
Art ~ Thank you! I still need to crank up the creep factor I think.
Barak! ~ I'll be making so much more. :)
Hi tikimexican! ~ Thanks! I already want to redraw his coat ;) I had a set of Koh-I-Noor Rapidograph Pens a while back, but eventually it became handier to buy and replace Sakura Pigma Micron Pens. I wasn't really going through them that quickly. Now I'm using a refillable brush pen and practicing with the line weights.
Nifty. What type of pen are you using? I used to sketch in the field with kuretake and ackermen pens but the japanese print shop that sold them went out of business. Since then I buy the brush tipped sakuras, but there's too little control as I think they're mainly for writing kanji. What are you using and where are you getting them?
Hmmm, this guy makes me think... good or evil.
ReplyDeleteSure hope he's no dentist! I'd never go back.
Great pic! Looks creepy.
