Description This was going well untill the last 5%, when mass tendonitis struck and my hand shook so bad that I ruined the pen nib.

Ummm..what to say about this....

IT TOOK A LONG TIME. 12 hours bent over a piece of paper, not my style.

Haha, but besides that, this drawing blows my mind. It was a complete fluke, and since I finished it it has created a whole new style for my art and my life. I really don't understand how it came to be, but I won't question it because I will always love it and be grateful for it.

Wow this is amazing Great work So many detail's too, love ittt

If you want to sell it you have to, firstly charge for the technical work. You should estimate approximate time you spent on this work in total, not counting breaks. Lets assume it was 30 hours (but i think it must have taken more). Then figure out the maximum wage you could have earned if you worked somewhere instead of drawing. I usually take a minimum wage, which is £5 an hour in UK, so the price for the time spent is £150. Then you add all of the materials you used up on this work, like paper, pens, pencils. It would be like another £2-£5, so your minimum price for this work is approx. £153. After you can charge for the originality of work, your popularity and other things, but its always easier knowing minimum price. Good luck

Haha sadly it was only 12 hours. I'm very fast and this is only an 8x10. I've had some offers on it but I don't know if I could bring myself to sell it. One or two others from the series maybe, but not this one
