Remember this little image below here? I did it with the intent of making an acrylic painting out of it... well.. I decided to go ahead.. and ink it. I want to invest in an airbrush down the line and I figured that if I did the inks I would have very detailed lines to transfer at a larger size onto canvas. Remember the little one was done on a notebook scratch paper and it's maybe 2 inches long if that.. the finished piece, below is on an 11 X 14 bristol w/ about an inch or so border. Unfortunately for poor me.. I was crazy enough to do this piece when I was tired - all in one night ugh!! - after doing another piece of one of the comic characters I draw for the book (fortunately not as detailed).. and the worst topper.. my lamp went kaput and I was trying to ink over these very very light bluelines... hellooooo.. I can't see now...I love Ed's face in this one, and the feather work on the eagle. The only thing I was a little disappointed in was the smaller figure. But oh well! heheh. Chris had to help me scan this baby in. The border isn't the actual border that's on the artwork - it was done in Corel Draw by Chris, and part of the top, bottom and right side is missing (just a minute amount tho')

When I actually go do this piece for canvas/color, I will probably remove the smaller figure and put something else. Maybe a Stanley Cup? Ed? How 'bout it? ;) ;) Enjoy!
