in progress. one of a series of six portraits to be used as chapter stops in the Azure Pantry. each portrait will precede one of six dreams; the dream sequences from Azure Pantry will have a limited print run, separate from Azure Pantry & Denizen, bound together as the Burroughs Folio
that's the plan, at any rate. this is the third portrait. i've already got ian sommerville. thought i'd posted him already. guess that goes up tomorrow. still moving toward finished pencils on this one. next up is inks & colour. probably cop out and just colour the background... that's what i've done with the others
"finished" pencils, a little later...
i no longer am certain whether he looks like the historical Kiki, whose name is not recorded. i only have one photo to work from. but he'll do for "my" kiki
(actual final pencils)
i know, i know, the hands look like shit. i'll figure out how to fix it in the brushwork. that's how these things always go: i find the final line in The Doing, wielding pen or brush or whatever the final medium is. the backgrounds will probably be chalk and graphite with some brush whereas the sky should be a chalk blue with pure cloud, so those regions of paper should go wholly untouched
