Description This is a page from my new graphic novel, Angels of the Sword . It's all hand-inked, except for the sound effect and the grey tone on the gun, which were put in with Photoshop. I think I'm slowly getting better at inking! (O.o)

long hair *faint* Don't do that, it'll mess up your hair and burnt hair smell isn't very becoming.

"Slowly getting better"???

Come here so I can hurt you! Your inking has been awesome since I started watching you! Don't make it sound like you're a novice, I'm getting an inferiority complex since I can't hope to do lines this well yet.

Especially on the hair........ :drools:

I haven't got a lot of confidence in my inking skills, yet. I'm still kind of scared of the pens! I tried doing some inking several years ago, and my lines were just horrid. I think working smaller is helping me on this one, as is using Zig pens and Permapaque markers instead of the quill pens I was using, before. It's more like the feel of the pencil in my hand, so I feel less aware that I'm using ink instead of graphite. A quill feels totally different in my hand, so I'm always thinking "Can't mess this up! Can't mess this up!" which in turn makes me nervously clutch the pen... and mess up. (O.o)

I always love doing hair, regardless of the medium. I think I have kind of a hair fetish, which is probably born of my own very long hair. I've had it long since I was 15!

Yeah, ditto for the long hair fetish, especially on men.....

My sisters and I are all afflicted with it, we figure it's because we were exposed to Boris Vallejo's work at an early age.

Heh I just love to draw long hair. Especially in pencil, because then I can make it very expressive. My sister has been around me the whole time my hair has been long, but she doesn't like it. She thinks it's "girly." Her daughters, however, love it. The oldest one used to brush and braid it a lot, when she was little, and the younger one does it, still. I'll sit there for hours to have someone playing with my hair! It feels gooooood. (^-^)

hehe Thanks! I played that game three times, myself, when I was 15. But not with a gun that powerful. (O.o)

Thanks! I've got the first two scenes (24 pages) up on the site , right now, and am working on the drawing for the third one. It will probably be a couple of weeks before I have scene three ready for posting. Life keeps getting in my way, this week. (O.o)

Nicely done... I am amazed at the sense of drama that you are able to capture in this simple black and white drawings....awesome.
