Episode #16 - "Science Patrol Into Space"
Written by Kitao Senzoku

BALTAN is the most memorable of the Ultraman Kaiju. These lobster men, aside from their ingenious design have a haunting unforgettable laugh. They were the first alien invaders faced by Ultraman and the only menace to return for a second episode. The design of the BALTAN changed quite a bit between its first and second appearance.

I use a Cross fountain pen for the line, a brush pen for the spot blacks and a black china marker (crayon) for the mezzotint gray. I draw it directly into a sketch pad. (I use the same tools except for the china marker in the PCJ) I have the ULTRAMAN DVD set so I freeze the image I like then I draw it.

I've been meaning to ask you what medium are you using for these?? I love the lighting effect on them.
