VINTAGE CON SKETCHES: Ryan-Kinnaird-colored edition, pt.1!
Added 2020-09-25 13:00:07 +0000 UTCBehold, a few Vintage Con Sketches that were colored by my bud Ryan Kinnaird just for the hell of it! I shall now endeavor to dig up the B&W originals for these pieces (or photocopies thereof, more accurately) before this post goes up Friday morning, but can't guarantee that I'll find 'em in time; oh, the tension!
UPDATE: Found 'em!
Keiko and Seiko are characters from Kabuki: Scarab, the miniseries that creator David Mack wrote and my frequent collaborator Rick Mays did the art for. I used photoreference for their outfits, as you might be able to tell. (Or not.) Needless to say, folks, I did not possess Rick's highly developed skill at drawing Japanese people who actually look, well, Japanese.
Very neat color approach Ryan took on their coats, especially the shiny silver one worn by Seiko on the right. 2002 was very early on in my newfound "minimal nasal indication" facial-design approach, so the ladies' nostrils aren't quite up to snuff, alas. (Or "sniff," I suppose.)
I'm pretty sure I posted the Ryan-colored Dirty Pair commission here before, but I think I might not have posted the B&W original artwork back then. (If so, I couldn't dig up the file; I just uploaded a new scan from a photocopy of the piece.)
The hair and costume variations on Kei and Y**i are more of the random variations I would riff on whilst cranking out a bunch of otherwise boring & repetitive DP commissions.
NEXT MONDAY ON THIS HERE PATREON: Life drawings, as usual!

It figures Patreon is as wonky from your end as it is from ours. Nice piece as always, looking forward to more!

2020-09-28 13:04:10 +0000 UTCCouldn't tell the photo ref on the outfits at first look, but I think that's just a testament to how well you do clothes (or the lack of, for the Angels 'work outfits' half the time!). Can't say that's a flaw at all, since I just saw the Lovely Angels have a 'work outfit' in a recent manga that consisted of a Boob Band and short shorts, plus a tiny jacket!
