i wanted to avoid stylistic tweeks on this one, so badly. the eyes, however, were a bitch to ink, because i just couldn't get a feel for the style that was used. tass' style is just -that- awesome and hard to reproduce.

but, yeah... tass has coloured a couple of images for me, so i decided to at least try colouring something for him... the original images i chose turned out to be more than i could handle, because his pencils aren't nearly as clear as some other artists (finished products are, however, fucking -amazing-), but rest assured that with such a distinctive style, he's -very- good at what he does. i'd go as far as to say that he's one of the artists that i continue to look up to, and it's the realism and inimitability in his style that i'm slightly jealous of.
