Challenge #28: Makeover

Title: Shuos Khiaz
Fandom: Machineries of Empire
Artist: [personal profile] yhlee
Rating: G
Medium: ink
Characters: Heptarch Shuos Khiaz
Summary: Khiaz seated.
Content Notes: This is a redraw of an ink sketch from 2012. This time around, [personal profile] niqaeli agreed to model for me (so I would have reference for the foreshortening, which is very wonky in the original) in an approximation of the original pose, and I used the photo as a basis for the sketch and then the inks. IIRC, the original was inked using a fude nib fountain pen. This time I used a dip pen and Dr Ph Martin's colored India ink (Crimson) plus a Pentel Pocket Brush Pen for the black areas.




Here's the sketch before I inked it up:


And here's the original from eight years ago:

Oh, I like these! Using a real model to get the pose right in the redraw was a good idea. You've captured her arrogance there.

Wonderful! It's so good to have someone willing to pose for reference, especially for getting the foreshortening right. Hands and feet are particularly difficult, and you captured them so well!

That's so interesting, the change in styles is noticeable and yet consistent somehow... Your most recent one is much looser and more relaxed.

Again, just like in [personal profile] mific's piece reference seems to be key. Sitting poses and foreshortening are so hard to do without a reference. I do love the details on the throne in the original.

There is something so sexy about the pencil sketch and I am all for it. I love the color of the new ink.
