Great stuff :)

The only exception in the above list is this one - http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800x60 ... /qinwp.jpg . The commission was done by Stan, but the watercolours were actually by Tom Luth.

Dang, meant to not include that one, but was in a bit of a hurry when I posted these....

Thanks, Steve. It is nice to have all the images in one place.

The commission of the cat bus continues to be my favorite: combining my favorite animation film with my favorite comic book. Peace, maka

It was a busy day yesterday, so I did not get any drawing done except for this Gen the Bounty Hunter in watercolor. Sharon had a great day yesterday. She needs to take it easy today.

Today's drawing is Mariko. I seem to be on a roll with The Women of Usagi. I guess tomorrow will have to be Chizu the ninja.

I agree. The details in the print on her clothes is amazing. How do you do that with watercolors?!?!?! I love how her hair fades out with the rest of the art at the bottom. Something in her position turning away, looking back, and those eyes . . . it seems like a very intimate moment. Beautiful. Peace, maka
