This is really fantastic; I'm so happy to see you transitioning into really getting the patterns in there, and it's all the more impressive that it's all hand-drawn. It would be so tempting to just Photoshop those in
If I had to pick, the black fills are looking a little "strokey", and diminish the detail of the lovely patterns; have you thought about laying those large flat blacks in with a brush and ink, instead of a pen or marker? I think the contrast of the flat black against the detail would really complete the effect.
It's a Favourite, regardless. Bravo

thanks for the feedback,
i noticed the same thing, but i hate brushes.. so it is taking some time for me to allow myself to use one 
i will give it a try, either that or try to find a pen
that is not as strokey!
thanks again!

It's very understandable. I was really resistant to using brushes for the longest time; I finally just MADE MYSELF use one for a while, for good or ill. I could never actually use one exclusively - I like the pen way too much. I still do most of my work with a pen, but it always helps to have that extra tool in your arsenal for just when you need it
It might help the transition to pick up a brush pen like this: [link] It does everything a brush can do, without the mess. I use these myself from time to time. Still can't actually DRAW with one worth a dime, but it's great for fills and textures on top of my line drawings.
Keep up the great work!
