Fairy Tail Boat Ride

Golly, how long has it been since I submitted a piece? Jeez, must seem like I'm getting lazy, *sigh.

Anyhoo, here's my latest piece. Hiro Mashima, the guy who creates Fairy Tail was at SanDiego ComicCon last week, and I made this drawing just for him! I wanted to ink it and color it all traditionally, but it wasn't finished with enough time for me to do those next steps anyway, so I just gave him the pencils. Friggin awesome meeting someone I wish I could be.

Well, anyway, I scanned my pencils before I gave it to him, and I just finished coloring it. And it was hell, adding too much light to the front made the strong light in the back unnoticeable, so I went through a couple complete revisions.

But here it is now, I hope it works, and if you haven't started Fairy Tail, well what are you waiting for?!? Its awesome! Erza is my favorite! And in case you're wondering, that guy who looks almost dead, he gets hella motion sickness, so Erza tends to elbow him in the gut and knock him out.

pencils: 4hrs?
colors: over the course of 5 nights, but only actually took one to finish it once I knew what I was going for
