Aaaaaaand... time for a sketch!




White pencil on black paper - 11x14cm

Why yes, I am still rockin' the StrikeBack promo.
And in case Mr Huu is feeling left out, really all he has to do is get himself tied to a chair and struggle prettily. I really am just that shallow.

Also, because I get asked about it sometimes, and because I've posted progress pics of regular sketches but not the white-on-black ones, here's the point I was at when I was complaining about it earlier.

Ooooh, I really like the white on black effect you went with here. Really adds to the ambience of the subject matter (i.e. guy tied to a chair struggling prettily).

I agree with you. Hugh should definitely do that (if only for artistic purposes). ;-)

I have to admit, picking white or black paper is a fairly easy decision. My general rule is if there's more black than white on the souce pic, draw the white bits on black cause it's easier (and substantially neater) than doing all that darned shading on the background. XD

And yes! Darn it, Hugh.
You know I've been after Hugh tied to a chair since you made me that Stan-tied-to-a-chair-with-LAN-cables icon a bamillion years ago.

Oh, wow - that's amazing! I'm constantly awed by your artistic ability. My father is an artist, yet I possess none of that.

If it makes you feel any better, my mother is a biologist and my dad was an experimental chemist, and I got none of either ;p

Thanks for letting me put this on my site. It's very impressive. I've tweeted a link to it as well, although I don't know if you're on twitter but I'm hoping lots of people will get to see it now :)

Aww, thanks! That's cool :D

I am on twitter but it's a locked feed cause it's mostly just my RL buddies making meet-up plans. Very un-fandom and boring of us...
Thank for the linking though!
