Goodnight Bebop

Description

I have this thing with people kissing in the rain, you see . . .

Been working on this one since January 2003. Spike and Julia of Cowboy Bebop were bait for my exploration into the detailed-shading anime style. Shading has never been my strong point, so it was time to bite the bullet. The rain/night environment made it challenging to accurately capture all the minute color changes.

Started out as a hand-drawn sketch, then scanned and colored in Photoshop. Do you like before/afters? Check out [link] for the original scan.

A very emotional piece. Bebop fans will understand why Spike and Julia are only almost kissing. Dedicated to Eric, who I will wait for in the rain anytime.
