I’ve been working on a little side gig, inking my pal Chris Campana’s pencils for his comics project called KANTARA, a sword and sorcery fantasy strip. Chris does really nice clean pencils, so it makes my job inking all that simpler.
Here’s a side-by-side example of Chris’ pencils and my inks:
Chris does his pencils traditional and scans them in, I then auto-convert the art to blue pencil in Manga Studio and do digital inks with the Wacom Cintiq tablet. Here are a couple work-in-progress screen grabs of the cover inks:
It’s been a fun project and kudos to Chris for his awesome artwork!
