I'm not sure what I was doing with this, or where I was going, just that I wanted to do something dark and grungy with ink splatters. The picture's named "Triumph of Decay" because Sipiyu looks like he's going "BOW DOWN TO ME, LOWLY HUMANS!" And Alice is just like ".. EGADS!" .. or.. yeah. XD

AND THUS, I have brought to you a Sipiyu artwork. Told you I'd do one! And I'm surprised that the paper I did this on survived..

Y'see, I took two sheets of normal computer paper, taped them down onto a canvas board with masking tape and then I used sharpie for the lineart and then I went over the parts I wanted to keep white with Art Masking Fluid. Then I used india ink for most of the black parts, and then used many layers of watercolor after that. When I was done I put over some paint age varnish that gave it this brown-ish hue.. Then I went into Photoshop, did some funky touch ups to bring out the color, and voila! You have a Sipiyu traditional picture. *pose!*

Enjoy.
