Yeah, it's a series now! Isn't that nice? 8D

Anyway, Stein again, just like in the last one. Only slightly older and with glasses now and stuff. (Yes, these are supposed to go in order!) I think I really like drawing him doing these things to himself. It probably has to do with the fact that I like drawing blood and tendons and different injuries. And there's just something cool about a mad scientist that started young. As for what is going on in this particular image... Well, you can make up whatever you like! Personally, I think he'd been messing with various tendons for a while. Seems to make sense, anyway. (But I'm sure everyone who's seen the character design knows what the facial bandages are all about!)

...And doesn't he look nice and crazy, just as he should? But in an awesomely unsettling subtle way? I'm so happy with the job I did on his expression!

I used my typical watercolor and ink method for this. But it's a mixed media piece, so I did some extra steps. When I finished the sketch, I used an X-Acto knife to cut out the areas that were going to be stapled, to give them realistic dimensions. I made a backing for the image to make the insides look red, and I did so by gluing tissue paper to normal paper, then pasting it to the back of the image.

The highlight of this image is probably the realistic staples! They're made out of wire that I inserted in to holes punched in the paper. If you really, really like them or something, you can check out a detail shot here: [link]
(It also shows the... Uh, procedure... In better detail.)

Pencil, watercolor, fountain pen, fine felt-tip pen, tissue paper, wire. Lots of stuff, actually!

I really love this one. It's such a creative collaboration of different mediums and they all work together really well.
And yes, the subtle smirk on his face is just lovely~
