The fine tuning in this one was the face. Lots of subtly drawing over the same lines and tweaking until I got it just right. The final execution is simple enough but it betrays the painstaking process of deciding on the finer points.
Probably going to have some help with the ankles feet before I ink it.
Ideally I would give all sketches this amount of care and time because good sketches produce better finished products. Unfortunately I cannot afford to do studies like this for everything. Maybe one day!
So far it's been 20+ hours total for both front and back. I stopped keeping track.
Inks and colors coming soon! From there I will be able to order a few copies of the body pillow and do a test run of preorders/ shipments. Doing it myself because I have a suspicion that paying middlemen 90% of the net profit isn't really necessary for me to get these out into the wild!
