Inktober 2023 Day 30 Monster by the Window

Happy Birthday Meimi Tamura! Hope you have a great year.

This piece is based on the play Marigold in which Meimi Tamura plays the main role of Gerbera a Dhampir (a being born from a human and a vampire). It is quite a tragic and beautiful tale about a mother’s love. Meimi’s solo is absolutely beautiful and my favorite part of the play. If you get a chance do check it out. Luckily it was recorded and released in both dvd and blue ray. And some fans have created subtitles for the whole series it seems which is awesome for us international fans.

The whole drawing has been done both traditionally (the line art) and digitally (inking, hatching and combining two separate drawings). Meimi was drawn on one paper and the window on another. With the amount of details I wanted to add, I decided to do the inking digitally since I probably wouldn’t have finished it in time.

Planning, sketching, inking, hatching and everything else in one day was crazy. But, I got it done. With this, I only have one more day and Inktober is finished!

Hasta mañana,
