Noche Grim Contest Inking (WIP)

Description

Taking the drawing and inking it in.

A little tricky, as inked lines are done in Illustrator for more control but brought back into Photoshop for re-combination with colors and shading. I took the reference drawing and shifted to a sepia toned color so I know exactly where my new lines are.

You might want to watch this post too, since I'm planning on updating it as inking of line art becomes more compete. When done at this stage, I'll remove the sepia ref and leave just the line art.

-----(Edit 7/6/2013)-----
Changed position of traling arm in the line art. This pushes the shoulder back behind the head, and altering sleeve angle helps it read better too. Drawing this pose and vantage point seems tricky.

That's the plan.

Sometimes I wish I knew where the competition was, so I could set pace accordingly. (At this point I'm feeling like I'm doing it too slow to be pro, but it's fun to see where it goes.)
