One was doing an ink wash on the bgs then coloring them in PS. Also giving the characters a cel-shaded look. It’s probably more of a cel shade/painterly hybrid.

Unfortunately, since I did the ink wash, I tried spritzing the entire page with water, to flatten out the page. It seemed to work, after I put it in between two sheets of glass. The only thing is that it didn’t allow the paper to dry out. It was flat, but still damp.

I left it in the glass for a couple of days, and took it out. It ended up having mildew and a reddish mildew. Eww. So the original is pretty much shot. At least I had scanned it and I chalk it up to being an experiment piece.

This is a big overhaul of my site. I’ve always felt that with my other site, I didn’t have a way to update easily, have up to date news, etc. 
I also wanted to incorporate an online store to sell some original art, books and prints.

Here’s a quick rundown on what you can find on my site:

• About: Bio information and resume.
• Gallery:  Artwork that I’ve worked on through the years.
• IP (Intellectual Properties): My own original ideas that I’m in the process of developing.
• Contact: Contact me straight from here to my ryan@odagawa.com email address on the contact form.
• Store:  Buy original art, books, prints and more  securely through Paypal or Google Checkout.
• Posts: Up to date news, including convention appearances, contests, new artwork, new store items and more.
• Subscribe to RSS:  Follow my feed and get up to date posts from my blog.

Thank you for stopping by. Hope to see you more often!
