This is a big one. Ryan and I were asked about 4 years back to do the art for an officially licensed crowd funded book for Vampire Hunter D. This project was under the watchful eye of the creator Hideyuki Kikuchi. A totally insane and once in a lifetime opportunity. This was also one of my very last full book inking jobs...so it's got a few special significances to it.
The Graphic Novel crowd funder raised almost 1 million dollars between the two campaigns and is shipping soon. Ryan and I are not directly involved in that process but I do know that the digital assets are in backers hands now. I was told they were waiting on a few of the variant covers to be completed and then the book will print.
either way. snap these up....it's really something special!
inked over a blue line of the pencils...art is on 11X17 hand inked by me on DC comics bristol board using high quality archival Ultradraw india ink, with a Hunt 102 crow quill, Raphael Kolinksy Sable Brush, and rapidographs.
this is the published original inks.
if you have any questions or would like to combine shipping on several pieces...please note me.
