Saito's a pretty mysterious guy in The Big Under, so that was something I wanted to focus on, the scene where they're going over information on Saito stuck out in my mind for some reason, hence the papers and photo with Sonia. At the same time I wanted to reference some other scenes from the script; the Tokyo dream race, the misty church, etc.
I inked this traditionally on watercolor paper with india ink and a G Nib, but ended up coloring it in photoshop. I really love the texture of watercolor paper, so I decided to keep it even though I wasn't actually painting. I might end up doing a real painted version, we'll see.
What are these other scenes everyone keeps referencing? Motorcycles and what-not?
The motorcycles are from an aciony dream sequence in the beginning of the comic.
The actual comic isn't out yet, but you can download and read the script there.
