Starry Knight

This was done as part of an art trade with a girl on Christian Manga, It is her original character. I was very excited to do this one! I based his wings off of The Merlin Falcon, because of the brown and white patterns.

Website Banner

This post is not designed as a tutorial! It is simply to show how I work from concept to completion. I hope you enjoy!


First I started out with a sketch on notebook paper to decide the look and most of the details.
After I got it to were I was happy with it, I inked the sketch.




Then, using a light box and clean paper, I inked the drawing on to drawing paper. then, because the web designer asked for a digitally colored image, I scanned it into the computer.





I then opened it with GIMP and began to block in the colors. this shows the boy with his skin, hair, and shirt finished. The girls skin is finished, but the hair is just blocked.



I continued playing with the color of the girls outfit until I got it to a point were I liked it. then I added the table top. I ran into a bit of difficulty with the lap top as I'm not the most technologically adept person in the world, but Google is a wonderful tool, so after using that I figured out how to manipulate GIMP to do what I wanted it to. but in the process I eliminated the word laptop from the picture, but I left the smiley face.



Then I transferred the picture to another "canvas" that was the right size for the website.





Finally, I added a background and the text and ... TA DA finished picture!

Big News

Hey Readers and occasional onlookers, I have BIG NEWS!!

The head moderator on a forum I'm on is working on a new lay-out for the site, and she wanted to feature some of the artists from the site. And she asked ME to do the piece for Screen tones! I'm floored!
I am also hoping to keep you all informed as it goes!
some prayers would be nice, and check back for a WIP (Work In Progress) on the art.

well that's all for now! *sorry no pictures this time.*

God Bless
Animo!
