Watchin' some Judo on TV. Next best thing to hockey, I guess.
I always wanted to do judo but my parents forced me into kendo or Japanese fencing instead. I mean, you can't exactly apply kendo in a bar fight but I suppose the mental aspect of the sport was well worth it. But, man, the armour you wear during practice freakin' stank! And when you have an itch on your nose there's no way to scratch it through that meshed metal face protector. Torture! I'd probably feel very different about it if I weren't such a snotty little punk back then but I digress. I've been looking into starting judo here but, y'know, if I break a finger or hand I'm screwed so I think I'm gonna have to let this one go.
Anyway, got some finished commissions to show. Considering the cost and wait, I screened toned them and made sure they were a step-up from a regular con sketch.
I'll post them all over the next little bit in no particular order.
Enjoy:

Man Tak, I really love your takes on C&D each one is better than the last.
I've always had a soft spot for them, I think it's time for a new C&D series.
Nausicaa is amazing in person. She just arrived today. Fantastic work TAK. I love her. Great job on the tones too.
C&D is awesome too. Can't wait to see some more of the commissions you did.
I love Nausicaa. I have her comic.
