    Brilliant. I really dig the “copper is an exercise in restraint” quote. Coloring on only a few photoshop layers forces him to almost work like a classic printmaker, only digital. They’re like silkscreens.

    This is so wonderful, I was really surprised because a couple of years ago I drew a comic using the same exact materials, almost to a ‘T’… Seeing another artist’s process is such a treat when you can say, “Hey, I do that too! I can be cool like him!” :)
