New medium, new art!
Hullo everyone!
It’s a bit late, so I’ll only put up a little post today (I’ve been reformatting a script for submission; that and giving myself the fear about trying to break into the industry), and I promised you an experimental piece last week, so here are the results!
I think that’s the Bank of China building. I think.
This is white gel pen on black foamboard. There’s also some red and purple gel pen, but they didn’t show up at all on the black background so I tried to hue the white ink with them; It didn’t turn out so great.
I’m reasonably pleased with the overall effect, but I think it needs a more detailed subject rather than a bunch of repeating windows. I’m thinking about doing a more complex cityscape next time, and also to use an acrylic marker to give more solid and bold definition. Not a bad experiment, but what do you think? Any suggestions?
Anyway, cheerio until Friday!

Maybe they we’re fearful of the wrath of cthulhu or some other elder god? Anyway I hope you have fun playing with your foam board.
Foam board is quite awesome to draw on, you’ve just got to be careful not to use non-water soluble paints, as the foamboard can melt under alcohol, etc.
Now you’ve put me in the mood to read some Lovecraft. I wonder where my compendium is…? Might have to buy a new one.
