"Cohi and Sakura traveling the road" - digital illustration clean up rough. Shaun Lieb

Hey all! I just got done cleaning my house for Christmas and thought I would get back to an illustration I had been working for a joint story with my gaming pen pal Nicole Goci.

In this we see I have made a few minor changes to the image, nothing major just a little mod to Cohi's right arm and a little re-scaling of Sakura's head.

So adding a couple of layers over the initial sketch, I really went through and chose which lines to express in this rough, and started to separate the planes. I gave the temple and trees their own layers while adding a little more over all detail.

I gave Cohi and Sakura their own layer and added another layer underneath with a flat grey to help separate them from the background.

All in all I really like how this image is coming out.

WOW! THE HOLIDAYS!

"How did he make it on to the list five times in a row?"

Hey everyone I would like to take some time and say Happy Merry Holi Hani Kwan Sols Mas. It's the final month of 2014 and we should all take this time to remember the road we just walked 12 months ago. The good, the bad, the ugly and the delicious. I hope you all find the moments with loved ones near and far and remember the spirit of giving is that we all get the chance to be transmitters of laughter, joy and compassion.

Take care and I will see you all next year.

Love Shaun the comicsmith
