Usagi Yojimbo 2


Another crack at Usagi Yojimbo






This started as a little sketch I did while at work yesterday




I scanned it in, blew it up and printed it on some copy paper. I took that to the lightbox and took my first crack at fresh inks on a 9 x 12 piece of Bristol.
That led to this finished piece which actually differs from what is above.
The neck on this was driving me crazy. Usagi doesn't have a very long neck, and although my take on him is in fact that - MY take, I think Usagi's lack of neck is a pretty defining characteristic. So, after scanning this in, I photo shopped his neck and head ever so slightly to get the finished pic at the top of the post.
And yes, I did all those little dots on his shirt. Stan did it, I thought I should, too!

My wife got me some Usagi Yojimbo books for Christmas. I'm loving them!

Venom

Between moving, work and Christmas preparations, I haven't had much of a chance to draw.
Here's a Venom I did a couple years back...just to remind myself that I do like to drawn sometimes!!
