I'm back at ya! That's a little Lupe for ya. I'm not sure I got it right,though... But I'm back none the less. Incorrect quoting and all. I been trying to get this out for a while but it's been difficult this week,what with my internet acting up and crazy komodo dragon-related emergencies... (Excuses. Excuses) Even with all that, I got around to finishing my next "piece" and posting it for all to see.
This isn't it! But this is where I started. Last year somewhere. (I really need to use some more current images!) So I scanned went to work on it with a little Illustrator magic and...
Yep. A little better,if I do say so myself. (Which,of course I do!) This was a lot quicker than the last time. I've refined a coupla techniques and learnt even more this time, but I'm still still not quick enough! I'm getting there, though...You may have noticed (but probably not) that I scribbled "War" next to the original pencil sketch. That's because this is my version of the Horseman War.
That mask with the phallic nose is a Japanese Tengu mask. Tengu are fighting demons apparently descended from birds, hence the connection with War, and also the birdskull attached to his sword. The green thing is one of those bath tokens from Spirited Away. Except it's green whereas the ones in Spirited Away are red. (in case you were wondering!) Don't ask me why! Maybe the Horseman of War spends his time off at the Bath house from Spirited Away. And has a special "platinum" token... I don't know!
