Description
This is the second illustration for 'Relative Misery' by Douglas E. Wright for Black Ink Horror issue #2. This one took forever!The names on the tombstones are the names of the other artists on the BIH art team. I hope that doesn't upset anyone! It's an homage of sorts to the incredible artists working for this magazine. I think I got everyone, if I missed someone, I am terribly sorry!

Holy cow, that's cool! I absolutely LOVE how you drew this--it is so forboding and moody (maybe Gothic is the right word?). And the graves--that is such a sweet touch. I can certainly see the amount of work that went in to this, wow. A fav for sure!!!

Your illustrations never cease to amaze me. You create this whole little world on the page--really makes me want to read the story. Do you know how much the magazines will cost when they are finished?

thank you so much! you are too sweet.
the magazine is $6.50 as far as i know. you can order here: [link] , look for the page that says 'sideshow press'
if the other stories are as good as the ones i've been assigned so far, it should be an awesome magazine. i'm excited just to be a part of it.

Nice shades between the light and darkness; contrast shows a lot. I can't seem to make out what's behind her though. On the floor inbetween the chunks of snow. Mind telling of what it is?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
do you mean on the ground in front of her? in the foreground? if that's what you mean, it's her dog, a basset hound, with a scalpel in his neck, and then to the right of that is a top hat. it's part of the story, but i don't want to give away all of the details!
so glad you like it, thanks for the nice comments. its good to hear from you!
happy new year!

Marvelous work my dear. The vines give me a sense of age and dread.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
thanks. i learned a lot doing those vines, sometimes i get way too involved in the details, but sometimes if you just suggest something it works much better. so it reid to suggest that ivy. thanks so much!

Awesome work, Meghan!! I can't complain about my name not being there. *(see notes). I love thr tones of the shgadow effect you put in there. It makes the whole piece come to life. insta-fav

thank you very much! i'm glad you like it. hopefully all those little details will print well. if i had known you were now a BIH artist yourself (yay!!!) i would have made one especially for my new friend. we inkers have to stick together, right?

Stick...ink...LOL, you funny!! Just kidding.
You know what, I was at the office doodling with my pocket pen and I can out with this shading technique that I can only get with a regular pen. I know it goes against what people say about needing professional pens and expensive paper, but I can't help it if I can do better with the cheap pens. What should I do???
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
do what feels right to you, but still expirement with 'upgrading' your pens or paper sometimes. try new things, the pens i use are not very expensive at all and they last for a pretty long time. but, do what feels right to you and screw everybody else, there is no 'right' in art.

Thanks for that insight. Well, I posted [link] so you can see what I did at the office today with a ballpoint.

that's fantastic! don't let anyone tell you that that isn't up to par. who cares what you use? it's how you use it that's important.
