I begin do bad things to character of zapher, in pencil.
Oh, so.. so much pencil. :P
Keen eyes might notice I had to fix some of shading with digital clone tool. Original piece look great, but digitized it get a bright spot to bottom right corner I use Gimp to rectify.
*Really* keen eye might notice I was try to make something look a lot like this one, for inspiration.
I like this piece. It highlight the secret kept in the shades of the night. (Bad Muis, go back to bed! You catch your death in puns. ;-) )
