Hello!

Hope everyone is doing good out there as we get ready for some christmas fun. This is the time of the year when 6 months worth of training at the gym goes out the window and I can grow a beer gut! hahaha...OK..... I already got one.

Anyway, this image here is the inked version of the Ryu breakdown sketch pencils I posted last week. You can check those out over here: [link]

I got some good feedback on how to make him look a little more like Ryu, as well as a few other little points here and there whch i incorporated into my thoughts as I inked. I'm kinda happy with the result overall. I didn't quite nail that mesh effect in the background, and I think a lot of that had to do with my tools, as I didnt really use the right thing for doing that effect properly.

As I mentioned on the pencils, this one goes out to THORCUS who requested it, so I hope you like it man, and also, we might see a snazzy coloured version of this if we are very lucky.

I have been thinking about auctioning some originals like this one off on ebay in the future. Would you guys be interested in being notified if/when such an auction goes up?

Let me know what you guys think, and thanks for looking!!!!!!!!
