Worked on this while watching Miss Marple last night.

These two are long running characters in my sketch book. They are from abio/mechanical race. While they do wear armour, it's hard to tell where it starts and their bodies begin.

For centuries their culture was divided into a strict caste system. The warrior caste, to which they - titularly - belong was particularly insular. Eugenics programs designed to breed better warriors eventually led to inbreeding and physical mutations. While the castes have, ostensibly, been dissolved for hundreds of years, many of the warrior line still bear disfiguring mutations.

There is a bit of digital work in here, though it's about 96% pen, ink and pencil. Part of the background is obviously digital - the pencils didn't scan well - but the rest of the cleanup and additions blend pretty seamlessly.

A little while back Paul Pope was talking about how hard it is to find Zip-A-Tone sheets. to get around this he was going to make high res scans of the sheets to use digitally. I thought that was pretty clever idea, but i don't have any sheets, and they're impossible to find, so I opted to make my own.

I made a sheet of roughly 50% gray in illustrator. Since it's vector I can resize the pattern to any Rees or size loslessly. As an example the very small dot patter and the very large pattern is from the same file.

Whaddaya think?

Just drawing for the sake of getting ink on my fingers.
