100 Pictures Challenge #94: Last Hope.

Uh. I'm not sure why I drew this. :laughing: I never have reasons for my impulses. But it might have something to do with a request from someone to draw Paris... and I needed to work up the courage to draw (1) perspectives and (2) with traditional media. (My skills for both being comparable to the suck capability of vacuum cleaners).

It might be the characters' last hope... or it might be mine. While I was working on it, a ghastly splotch of white paint landed right smack dab in the centre of the picture. It withstood all blotting attempts. I had to do major damage control with the previously scanned WIP (WIP #8. Thank goodness I had the presence of mind to scan each step...), but no further work could be done. :no: Man, I hate not having a CTRL+Z option.


Thanks to `DragonWinter for betaing, coming up with the title, and generally putting up with my bugging. ;)


Drawn with Medallion 0.05 and 0.2 mm technical pens, and painted with black Quink (fountain pen) ink and white poster paint. On A4 paper, if you can believe how ridiculous that is, LOL.

Whoa! That is fantastic! :w00t: I can't believe you're doing that 100 drawings challenge though. You must be crazy! Sorry to hear about the white paint splotch. Thank goodness for scanners eh? ;)

Absolutely fantastic. I love how it turned out. And having seen the WIPs makes it all the more meaningful to me. :aww:

Hey, cool! I can see that took a lot of patience... I never have the patience for detailed backgrounds. And I actually really like the way you did the border, for some reason. :D

This piece is very nice. The first thing that comes to mind is Casablanca. (Which I still haven't seen. :doh:)
Do I detect a faint trace of watermark? Eh?

No trees were killed in the making of this post, however a large number of electrons were terribly inconvenienced.

Oh, wow, this is just gorgeous! Your traditional art is every bit as fantastic as your digitals! Beautiful. Just... beautiful. :+fav:

You know I'm in love with this, the architecture and the old cars - fantastic. I'm thinking of having it screened onto a pillow so I can sleep with it. Ok, that's a little overboard but still...I really like it. :D

I'm really glad that you're trying some traditional media.
