I did this for a friend of mine who needed it for a pitch to investors.
Below is a breakdown of how I made the image; starting with a photo I found on gettyimages.com all the way to final. I wish I had time to write out what I’m doing in each iteration. If you have any specific questions just ask. Also, I based the giant terraforming engine in the background on this concept by Brandon Dayton.
Another samurai. Man, these guys are fun to draw. I want to do a comic about them now. I haven’t posted a step-by-step process piece in a while. The original sketch was done on the cintiq, and as usual has a lot more energy than the finished piece. Someday I’ll figure out how to keep the energy all the way through to the final.

Hadn’t drawn a samurai in a long time…maybe never. This drawing was to remedy that.

“Hey, you know where I can get a copy of INKtober?” said the boy in the big metal man. The grey rabbit did not answer immediately as was custom for most rabbits the boy had encountered on his journey. After much thought the rabbit spoke, “Over the hill and through a small wood is a village. There, you will find a shop of sorts. They sell this Ink…tober book you speak of.” The boy thanked the rabbit, slammed the heavy iron door shut and fired up the engine. Soon he’d have the book in hand, beholding it’s secrets. If any thought was given to the rabbit who guided him there it would soon be forgotten. The rabbit, on the other hand, knew very well their paths would cross again…
INKtober is now available in the Agent44 online store. This is an unlimited second printing ladies and gentlemen, so it’s not numbered nor does it come with an original ink drawing. That ship sailed a long time ago. But it is signed and I will do a sketch in it! Here’s the link:
