IF - Climb


This is a single illustration from a personal project. Its a comic called 'Ink Tales' the plot is a man who loses his dog and searches high and low to find him, encountering God, Satan and Gary to name a few.
I was experimenting with ink dripping onto paper with water and letting the ink seep into the paper to create really interesting textures and working them into backgrounds. This scene is after he's spoken to Satan and is climbing the long steps out of hell.

It's powerful and moody. A great piece for this part in your story.

Wow - I love the scale of that and the spindly figures. Perfect for the context - it's wonderfully dark (not just the colour/ tone!)
