Welcome to New Tokyo International Airport, Narita.

Viewing the trailer for Lost In Translation brought back so many memories of my trip to Tokyo two and three years ago. This movie captures the mixed-up dazed, confused feelings I had while lost in Tokyo, without knowing anyone, or the language. And at the same time, experiencing the exhilaration and thrill of exploring and adventuring through the neverending depths of Tokyo.

Anyway, it moved me enought to draw this portrait of Scarlett Johansson. Pencil on sketchpad, color correction in Photoshop.

For relaxing times, make it Suntory time.

According to people in the know,

Tippett Studios wrapped on visual effects last weekend. Escape FX wraps on Revolutions this weekend.

tick… tock.

(insert maniacal, Agent Smith laughter, here)

Not wanting to leave things unfinished, I took some time this weekend to fix up the hair and other bits from this drawing. I filled some of the darker regions, too, to give good contrast. The version posted here isn’t filtered, as to not hide the detail.
