Bring Ahe'ey to Life - Sky pencils; work in progress!

Busy weekend here at the Kommienezuspadt residence in Minneapolis, but despite my workload, I wasn’t going to miss the opportunity to participate in Hive account@jamielefay’s #bringaheeytolife contest.

I decided to draw Sky, in particular, the battle scene from episode 9, where she killed two of the advancing Hu’urei. The quote from the beginning of this post, “…she dipped her hand in his wound and licked the blood”, was irresistible for me. I immediately got an image in my head and I’m happy to say, the drawing turned out pretty close to that.

I grew up admiring Frank Frazetta, Gerald Brom, Boris Vallejo, and several artists that graced the covers and pages of Heavy Metal magazine. This completely satisfied my desire to do more intricate, dark fantasy.

This is just a work in progress, showing the pencils so far. I’ll be inking it the next few days. I’m hoping the finished artwork has a distinguished graphic novel feel. All done on the iPad Pro with Apple Pencil and Procreate.

Thanks to Hive account@jamielefay for her willingness to share Ahe’ey with the community and open this contest to the artists here at Steemit.

More art, photography and thoughts shared daily on my blog. Follow me @kommienezuspadt!
