ROLAND DESCHAIN - THE GUNSLINGER - Updated

So here are the final inks for the Gunslinger piece I posted yesterday. It's certainly not perfect as far as I'm concerned. Inking is still something that I'm trying to teach myself, and it sure isn't easy. Luckily, I made a copy of the original pencils so I didn't ink directly over the original. I really like the way the penciled version looks. Maybe down the line as I get more comfortable with inking, I'll take another crack at this one. Thanks again for reading !

ROLAND DESCHAIN - THE GUNSLINGER

I've recently started reading the first book in Stephen King's Dark Tower series, The Gunslinger. It's absolutely incredible ! A couple years ago I read a few of Marvel Comics adaptations of the books, and as I'm reading the novel I have a beautiful mental picture of the characters and settings thanks to those comics. The artwork by Jae Lee and Richard Isanove is so breathtakingly beautiful. If you're familiar with Jae Lee, I think you can see the influence here. That is how I picture Roland as I'm reading, just the way Jae drew him.

I'm pretty happy with the way this turned out. I was originally going to do just a loose sketch in pencil, and then render it out in brush & ink. But as I was sketching I just got into a groove and decided to do full pencils on it ! I will end up inking this in the next couple of days, I just wanted to show the pencils beforehand because I really love it so far.

Thanks for checking this out, and as always, feel free to leave some feedback. Thankee, Sai !
