This is the second part to the below Chapter...it kind of spilled over. This is another page that is a challenge: the famous 666 page. I worked the numbers in red at the bottom and they are also copied inside the white smoke lines. The little smeary icons are the 4 gospel writers (or at least there traditional symbols).

I just recently finished this one (as of January). One of the things that I have really been thinking about is making graphic design that can be easily photocopied. Don't ask me why, artist's get weird things stuck in there heads. Maybe the challenge of only working in monochromatic positive and negative space appeals to me. Anyway, all of these elements are scanned drawings that have been inversed in photoshop. The only "computer generated" lines are the circles at the top and bottom. Man, this page messed a week of my life up.

A new page!!! This is Chapter XIIII and as you can see I am continuing my pen and ink / color in photoshop approach. I decided to just go nuts with the cross hatching lines to build up mass in the clouds. This is obviously the famous beastie described in this Chapter. I knew I couldn't mess this one up.
