An affair of honor

My new style is growing, tee for Rinsay

So I'll tell you a little bit more about my new style and what inspired me to go in this direction.
Basically I've had enough of vectoring with the mouse for my art, I find it way to much of a perfection exercise. i've been looking for something new for a while.

I've been playing around with my Wacom graphics tablet for sometime as I like the fluid motion of the pen better but couldn't get anything solid going.
One piece of art has really inspired me and I'll show you how I got there...bear with me! This might get messy!
So I'm watching I'm on a Boat music video from Lonely island [link] and I notice T-Pain mention Poseidon the sea god, I think he says "Poseidon, look at me,... motherfucker" Anyway I decide that might be cool and google image search Poseidon for some reference images. Found this: [link] which is a ancient Roman Mosaic in Ostia [link] I absolutely love that messy lined, white on black style...
I'll be added a dash of colour in mine to keep it interesting.
So now I draw something on paper, scan and then draw again with the graphics tablet. Doing the line work with the pen isnt ppperfect ., , but that how I like it!

Inspiration does come from the strangest places

I'd like to thank the following people for the inspiration: Lonely Island - I'm on a boat, T-Pain, Poseidon the sea god and the ancient Roman mosaic artists. and my Wacom Bamboo graphics tablet
