Just started using toned paper

I've just started using toned paper. I'm enjoying the hell out of it. I drew 5 or 6 things today just trying out different things. In this post I'll show my retro Godzilla drawings.
If you haven't seen the original Japanese version, you are missing out. The English version is usually called Godzilla, King of Monsters while the Japanese version is simply titled Gojira (at least on Hulu Plus). 

  • The materials I'm using to work on this paper are: 
  • Nouvel PIGMA Comicline 08 for even-weight lines
  • Kuretake Fudegokochi brush pen for changeable width lines
  • COPIC for shades and colors. 
  • And finally, I use Uni-ball Signo White gel pen (Thick) for the white highlights. 

I'm thinking of switching to white color pencils so I can gradate the highlights.

Illustration Friday "strings"

This is my first Illustration Friday submission. Since my homepage is finally up and running, I felt it was time to get some of my stuff out there.

SENPO MAP and my Beppu adventure

Hello! It's me, patokon with an update on some of the work I've been doing lately. This year, my good friend Junya Hanada told me about his plan to open a guest house in Beppu which is about 3.5 hours away from Mifune where we both live. He also told me that he wanted me to design a series of cards featuring local little-known establishments that guests could choose in order to make their own personal itinerary. I was asked to handle design and illustration duties in addition to managing the volunteers who were students from various countries studying at Beppu's Asia-Pacific University. First, let me tell you about the guest house. It is called In Bloom Beppu  and is just a hop, skip, and a jump from Beppu Station. My friend Junya is one of the nicest guys you could ever meet and is doing his best to make In Bloom Beppu a great place to use as a home base for exploring Beppu. This is Junya showing me around the Hell Hot Springs.   This is In Bloom Beppu...
