Looks like it would make a nice solid foundation for some angular cel shading.

im thinking of not even adding in any shades, or facial features. just solid colors.
but first i want to find a way to make the inking look less "pencilled".

There are filters you can do for that effect. Just toy around with filters in the artistic section if Photoshop is what you use.

No problem. As long as I'm in a good mood, here's one more: (I'm going to do a tutorial on this sometime, but you get a sneak peak at one of the aces up my sleeve)
Now, you will learn the ultimate filter, the FINAL THRESHOLD. This filter will bring out the full color potential of any image, when used correctly. This filter creates bolder color by accenting shadows, and there are very few pictures that couldn't benefit from this.
1. Make a duplicate layer of what you want to enhance
2. Use the "Threshold" adjustment on the duplicate layer. Move the slider around until it looks good in B&W.
3. Select a white area in the thresholded kayer, then go to "Select---->Similar" to select every last white pixel on this layer.
4.Delete the selection. You'll see the black spots accenting the original image's shadows
5. Adjust the duplicate layer's opacity to your likin, until the shading is emphasized to your liking. (I always go to 25% opacity to emphasize the shading enough to show bold color, but not so much that it starts to look overly angular)
6. Repeat these steps for any other objects in your drawing. I like to do this individually for each character, and then once more for the background, though one cycle for the flattened, finished version also works.
