Grace #5 Cover Illustration

From the initial blue lead rough through the H softness 2mm graphite lead tightening to the PITT Faber-Castell markers inking, scanning and Photoshop addition of filters [dot-screen pattern like an old Ben-Day]. All drawn on A4 ordinary printer paper with US comicbook used to mark & rule the cover size and proportions.

Coloured by new DarkBrain's prodigal talent, Mr. Marc Bourcier http://boyann.deviantart.com/#/d3g86wo.

The series continues with new artist[s]. I am no longer on the comic.

Drawn by me, coloured by Christa Rozenkranz. The final pieces of the deffinitive illustration to be put together.

All pencil, VERY hard lead, no inks.

GRACE promo pin-up WIP 2

And THIS is how I have mistakenly drawn the Bondage Grace pin-up before having to delete this background and add the previously shown one with Maria, Jerry and their lab surroundings.

Drawn with 2mm lead, 3H hardness and NO INKS on Windsor & Newton A5-sized sketchbook cardstock.

The bondage photo of the incomparable Jasmine Sinclair was used for the reference without an attempt for likeness. She has approved the use of the photo and I am very pleased for the fact.

GRACE promo pin-up WIP

Due to the misunderstanding between my publisher/editor and myself I did the previously shown illustration that can be seen here https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPKAGaW8NQ7xinwzVfDX1ZXF87Fa2vFhYh_pJibwLOa2TbrsBzlB9TdF1pEnC2KwkOPseI3oKWuDR7SAPbPXmCxjv4D9IwBCCzkpyNPUAL-DcUUU3bkqHQxMDrybMbhUaQhCXT2q97Ga4/s1600/bondage__if_you_are_the_rope__by_darkbraincomics-d3chng4.jpg a little differently. The drawing was amended and BACKGROUND ACTION was done on a separate sheet of paper to be spliced together with the FOREGROUND main elements.
