So like, I decided I should do more traditional drawing and painting. The actual sketch was drawn digitally in Sai, then copied later to a piece of special marker paper. It was inked with waterproof ink; then I treated the markers with a wet brush to wash the colors a bit, and worked in several layers. This is the result. I am very pleased with it 
PS. Scanner makes the colors look like crap. It’s not supposed to look that yellow-ish.
I really don’t do drawings for this day, nor halloween. Still, it was a good oportunity to draw my ocelot character, Xipil to celebrate Day of the Dead.
In México, Day of the Dead is our “halloween”, the difference is that this day is a celebration of life and to remember our dead. People go visit the cemetery and make altars for their deceased, adorning them with cempasuchil flowers and leaving the favorite food of their loved ones for them to enjoy in the afterlife
Anyway! Here’s my rendition to this day, with an entranced Xipil holding a skull (also representative of death in México). Enjoy!
That was the theme of this new yaoi illustration.
Perhaps many of you don’t know these characters, since they are rather new and have just a few pics in the Others galleries. These are my aztec animal boys, Xipil the ocelot and Yaotl the coyote; I’m still working on their story. I just wanted to draw some sweet yaoi this week. Damn, I need to start working again on that Tango remake as well… 
Anyway, here’s a preview (the full, uncensored illustration can be viewed at the Hard Yaoi > Others gallery).
This illustration took me more than two weeks to finish! I kid you not…
Today I found the will to finish this thing. From the very beginning it promised to be a complicated picture, but I’m very proud of the final result. The background of the forest took me 1 entire day to finish (altho days before I was studying forest photographs so I could paint a decent looking forest <.<; ). Why the “easiest” part of the illustration –coloring the characters, took me more than two weeks to finish, is beyong my comprehension.
Anyway, here it is. Hope you like it
