    ink art This marketplace is drawn from a 2 point perspective to give a standard view of everything in one shot. At the very back on a large rock is a tiny person looking down on the marketplace. Even though the audience is looking at the marketplace from the front end, at the polar opposite end, the visitor is also looking at the marketplace. This is done to show that the journey of the audience is in sync with the journey of the visitor.

    uniE621 BOAD - The power of a visitor
    ink art This is a finished inked art project. There are a total of 22 images but for these samples only a few were included. I wanted to do a black and white inked project that shows a world with original characters and original landscapes. These art comic style images with an original non-traditional or new tradition art style. This is not meant to follow the norms of current comic art design but is designed to be its own thing from a freehand pencil sketch to computer digital touch up approach.
