July Sticker Club design
Inked snake, emulating the style of a tattoo design! A spider tailed horned viper, with its lure hiding amongst the pomegranates of their native Iran.
I used this design as an opportunity to test my new inking pen. Sketched the pose digitally, printed with photo blue on bristol paper, then inked traditionally.
Usually I use a fat Pentel Brush Pen, this time I used a Kuretake No. 13 Fountain Pen. The Kuretake is shorter and finer, which allows for a LOT more control than the Pentel. And is very good for small detailed work like this piece. I can get fat lines (like the dark areas of the snake) as well as thin delicate lines for the flowers.
Highly recommend this brush (NOT SPONSORED LOL [i wouldn't mind a sponsorship 馃槒])
Hey. Sub to our sticker club before July 3rd. You can get one of these babies as a sticker in the mail after I color n' print it.

Pseudocerastes urarachnoides
An illustration for my sticker club, of the Spider Tailed Horned Viper.
She uses her tail as a lure for her preferred prey of birds, perfectly emulating the appearance and movement of a bug. This snake, as well as the illustrated pomegranate flowers, are native to Iran.
