I have to stop taking crappy pictures with my crappy phone camera and start using my scanner...

So, as you've probably noticed, I've been trying to keep up with the #inktober challenge. It's been a lot of fun and really good practice for my traditional inking, which I've never been very good at. I've been using mostly Faber-Castell Pitt Pens and occasionally I'll use a Pentel brush pen. All on smooth bristol. Some of them are really rushed (Apocalypse, Thorin Oakenshield, Lady Loki) and some of them I was able to give some attention to (Groot, Darksied, Godzilla). Inking is unforgiving and mistakes don't go un-noticed, but it's good that I just put it out there. I feel like I'm learning from those mistakes and getting better as I go.

Initially came across you while you were talking about what was wrong with that one costume the guy on the FB TT group was seeking feedback on. Thank you for that BTW, there are some sexist idiots out there who don't know what they're talking about. Then I came across your work, which is awesome to put it lightly. Glad our paths crossed and I didn't miss out on your talent :)
Yeah, I'm convinced that dude was just trying to get a rise out of people. Which makes that whole thing even worse, imho.

Thank you for the watch and the very kind words. Blush 
Oh, probably...potentially a lonely person seeking attention, or something. Even so, objectifying women is not the best way to go about it Crazy guy 
In regard to your art, you're very welcome. It's a fun style that is very expressive and colorful :la:
Thanks so much for the watch! :D
The pleasure is mine. Your work is wonderful!
You have a grand sense of style & great artworks & concepts.  it was a pleasure to browse some of your pencil works.
