Swordfish drawings, another style

Captain Fred Archer · 12-22-2004, 03:25 PM

That other fellow's stuff is stunning and very unique. Mine work is more simplistic. Here's one from my new swordfish book, followed by another in a bit. Sorry, but I can't get them both on this post at once. These are BIG drawings. The first has the squid going backwards (a baby giant Humbolt) that isn't going to do that much longer, now that his feet have been sliced off by you-know-who!

Oops! That's one of a daytime sword about to make a big mistake!

I see that "Smoke Screen" posted and not the daytime sword. I'll try to get that second one to post. It ain't easy bein' a computer monkey!

Let's see if it came thru this time.

Captain Fred,

Those are very cool!
Fortunately one huge advantage I have is unlimited time, so I was able to spend hours and hours drawing mine

That being said I really like your white on black sword.
What technique did you use? Is it chalk? It almost looks airbrushed...

Good stuff!

Regards,
