Oh yeah, a blog! I have one of those!

Fan art for Takeshi Obata and Tsugumi Ohba's "Bakuman"

I originally intended this for Shonen Jump’s recent Bakuman fan art contest, but a lack of ideas plagued me till the last few days. Ultimately I went with an odd “Death Note” mash-up, which… well, I imagine they received quite a few of those entries. However, I’d like to think my execution didn’t turn out half bad. Character outlines done with a Hunt 56 nib, everything else with a Hunt 107. Also, I must say, even with crappy, watery ink I loved the feel of inking on watercolor paper (and am apparently a texture freak); hardly any bleeding or tearing no matter how fine the cross-hatching. Definitely a combination I’ll be using more often.
