I'm working on Usagi Yojimbo #156: The Secret of the Hell Screen--An Inspector Ishida Mystery, part 2.
This is the first page drawn on 11x17 inch 2-ply 500 series cold press Strathmore bristol, with a 10x15 inch image area.
Rough pencils done with 2H 3mm mechanical pencil. The borders were drawn with a 3.5 technical pen and lettering with a Rotring Sketch Pen, medium and bold nibs. The Aames lettering guide was set at about 3.25. The title lettering was done with a brush.
First wave of inking with a Koh-i-noor ArtPen filled with Badger Black Opaque ink, old formula.
Pencil lines erased.
Blacks were spotted with a Pentel Brush Pen filled with the Badger ink, and textures made with the Koh-i-noor pen.
And finished.

I'm writing another Inspector Ishida mystery now where a Shogunate official is killed by fugu poisoning.

Cool! I don't think I would ever eat fugu, no matter who is the master sushi chef.Stan Sakai wrote:I'm writing another Inspector Ishida mystery now where a Shogunate official is killed by fugu poisoning.
Question: I think I have seen a fish character in Usagi's universe. But that might be faulty memories. Are fish characters part of the Usagi's world or are they just food?

They are just food, though sometimes I will toss in a random non-mammal character just for the fun of it. There have been amphibians people and, of course, Lord Hebi is a snake. I don't recall any fishy guys, though.Maka wrote: Question: I think I have seen a fish character in Usagi's universe. But that might be faulty memories.
