Since I got a new Intuos tablet semi-recently, I could hardly resist going back and giving this drawing some colors and shading in Photoshop. The colors came out brighter than I wanted them, so I fiddled with them (the colors) until I got this dark and muted look.
Here's the description from the original post:
"This is a portrait of Killy, the main character of the sci-fi manga BLAME!
He lives in what is known as the 'mega structure' - a technologically advanced and chaotic city-structure that encompasses his entire planet (earth?) and then some. He is not human, but an advanced artificial human-like life form. He roams the structure years upon years in search of 'net terminal genes'.
Done with ballpoint pen and brush marker, filtered lightly in Photoshop to partially thicken and even out the strokes of my drying marker."
This version used the original scan for crisper pen-lines, as opposed to the filtered version of the lines.
