44 Demons - Final Designs

Final Character designs for my Graphic Novel that i am working on, really trying to develop Ink and Colour work skills on this project

Kuniyoshi Print Restoration

This is one of my favorite prints by Kuniyoshi entitled "36 Fashionable Restaurants of the Eastern Capital: The Carpenter Rokusaburo" 1852
the original above is the only large quality version of the image i could find, and as you can see the colours are very faded. Using smaller versions of the image i tweaked the colours and levels for different sections in Photoshop to re-colour the large image, i was really pleased with the final look and will attempt to print it soon!
