pencil and photoshop. i love the texture of pencil. and i like this look. will likely do a comic styled this way eventually.

rekha and eulant (who are, btw, also first kingdom characters). this is rekha all growed up. and sporting a rare hair-beast that is both mohawk and cornrow. i've seen a couple black girls wearing their hair similarly around the city, and i've decided that this hairstyle is KING OF ALL HAIRSTYLES.

i cannot do it justice. one girl had the hair coming out of the mohawk in bronzed, fat, shirley-temple curls. sexiest hair ever. omigawsh. i wish i'd had a camera. or the guts to ask her if she'd pose for a drawing.

anyway, rekha wears her hair in cornrows often, for practical reasons. the practical reason being that, in a fight, the other person can't cheat by grabbing your cornrows. or maybe they can, if they've got those wicked, inch long plastic nails to dig under the hair, but aside from that . . .

eulant there is her husband. yes, she totally married a guy prettier than she is.
