Monster Wip

Hey ho,
on Friday I started working on a short story for the jazam magazine. The subject is "monsters". I did this first panel, pen & brush ink on Shollerhammer, as a style test. Unfortunately, I will not be able to finish the whole story due to real (paid) work so I'll turn in one or two pinups. This is a good document of me looking for a style.

Check it: Monster comes out of the water while lone adventurer crouches on the grass. Artist has not found a way to render grass nicely but likes how the water turned out.
But what is this? Artist wants to make eery mood with grey scales but hates that "fancy" inking gets lost in the process. NOOOOOOoooooo!

I'll keep you updated, folks.
