Max Spleenripper – Part 2
Sketch style à la Matt DiPietro, the latest post in his guest lecturing over at Miniature Monthly takes the next step in sketch style – glazing colour over the greyscale. Interestingly this is not a style I particularly care for – at least the way I am doing it so far. The color comes out a little desaturated…

Legend of the 5 Rings… London style
