SciFi and Fantasy Art: Labrys

This axe is based on ritual axes found in the Minoan civilization on Crete. I imagined it to be made entirely of metal to be swung by really large agressive creatures like Cyclops or Minotaurs.

We love that look of the handle! The double sided blade... Nice but looks to b a lil on the long side. But very nice all together!!

Question though... Is it water color wit a charcoal outline?

It is actually a bit more complicated than that.
Originally it is a pencil drawing that I scanned. I then polarised the art in Photoshop so that the pencilled lines turn really black. I printed the result on a very good laser printer and then I used ink to create the shading effects. The end result that you see here is, of course, scanned once again.
I suppose you could get the same result using ink and charcoal outline. Perhaps I went a bit over the top... 2
