Ninjas Love Pirates

I was asked to do the program cover art for Katsucon 15 which takes place this February, Valentine's Day weekend. So I thought I'd do a really geeky love theme. Everyone thinks pirates and ninjas are bitter enemies, but that just isn't so. I had some room so I thought I'd throw in some more geeky love imagery.

Took a very loose pencil sketch and colored it all up in Photoshop.

Crossbone Love

It's pirate love! With hooks and skulls! And stuff.

This is a design for a tattoo that I stuck on one of my characters for a cover illustration. Decided to stick it on a shirt as well. I sketched it out in pencil and did some loose shading. Then I hit it with some Copic markers for tone and finished it off with a little Photoshop.
