Work in progress

This Asian Skull is a work in progress. So far just outlining, shading and a little colour here and there. Lined with a Southern Cross Customs Liner, shaded with the long stroke dragon fly. Colour in the flames is Gen 6 Swashdrive. The little bit of colour in the skull itself (lots more layers to go yet) was done with the swashdrive whip. I haven't done a whole lot of Japanese, so this is new territory. One black, some moms, silverback, starbrite and intenze inks were used.

how are you liking the whip as compared to your other rotary machines used on this piece?

I really enjoyed using the whip for this type of colouring, it's soft and smooth. IMHO, a better alternative to the swash Gen 7 (which I have used previously for this colour layering). I've also used the dragonfly for this effect with similar results.
