I love your inking style on this piece!!! I get a style of ceremonial dance...I think the way your lines(crosshatching) just flows with all the curvature...I think with a piece that first seemed it may be chaotic in nature...actually is quite beautiful to look at!!

Thanks! I haven't done many ink drawings, which even surprises me, since I do enjoy it! About chaotic: the danger does exist, but you get around it by adhering to basic principles such as the Golden Section [link] in your basic picture composition. For photographers, it's usually known as The Rule Of Thirds [link]

"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!"
Love It!!

A fave of mine in history class! Love the guy, his initials and dates were always very prominently visible, so tests were easy. Aside from that, I love the Northern Renaissance, and he blended both that and the Italian style perfectly. The Albertina in Vienna is the place to hang out for his graphics!

Hey, thanks!
His eys? I made 'it' a her. Gender bias, I guess! Or else, I had one of my exes on my mind at the time, got no idea anymore!!
