New Stuff Part 1

Here is more Concept Art for a project of mine called "Storm Carrier." 

Here is the 72 dpi version of what I've begun. I've started the inking process, all in Illustrator, and it's far from done. I'm experimenting with a technique using the pen tool that lets me control the width of each line. If you're familiar with Paint Tool SAI, it's similar to the tool used in SAI that controls the line weight (I forget what it's called), only more difficult because it's all done manually. When I begin to perfect it better, I plan on doing a tutorial on just how I do it. 

Anyways, the actual outlines are outlines of the outline of the whole figure, if you know what I'm talking about. Once I'm done the lineart in Illustrator, I plan on importing it to Painter and coloring it from there, and the final piece will have no black ink lines. These outlines for an outline are going to be my guide for when I paint the final piece of where the outline of the figure begins and ends.

Anyways, here's a larger 300 dpi piece to show you just what I mean:

As you can see, the lines are a bit squiggly, so I'm going to have to fix that with the smooth tool and some manipulating of the line vertices.
