that's kewl as an illustration, and now we can say that typography is an important part of ur art, it seems that it taked a fair share inside your works, as how deep coloring, and perfect outlines are taking.
I have to say that you are fond with Black Letter script style of fonts. Hmmm, but why because it is old style? u make good contrast between the old and modern then. that's interesting and to be honest with you that may make very unique dramatic style. I would gladly advice you to try making some heraldry themes, like the heraldic lion.. may be. but i am interested to know how u may use the copy font for your comics? will it be a normal comics font like these comics font examples. I know that comics fonts are a very heavy business line. Or will you design your own font? .. i am not sure.
Another thing, I would like if you use the david car5on's font which called mexican with this guy, it may make another scence. i don't mean that the blackletter here is bad, i am just suggesting another intresting point of view, as known david car5on's fonts are mostly display fonts.

I've always been a fan of the blackletter-style. Especially for something like this piece, as a lot of Mexican tattoos are done in this style of lettering.
I'll definitely try that out (Carson's fonts). That guy's a legend.
As for the text in my comic, you know, I haven't really thought of that yet, but now that you mention it, it's a very important element that I have to start looking into. I focus so sharply on the imagery, but type choices can truly make or break a piece. As I get closer to putting it all together, I'll surely be asking for your opinions.
Thanks again dude!

Cool, that typography on the arm reminds me of a thing i saw here [link] (click the pen)
That guy has done a really cool blackletter/gothic/fraktur font called 'newcastle' [link] Check it out (if you dont already got it).

That is pretty badass... Tatts in that area always look boss.
Thanks for the head's up... I always can use more old-school-ish fonts like that.

That's so... gangster.
Your stuff is rad bro. I really dig the stuff you've been throwing together lately.
The guy you made this for, you need to tell him to change the name for this dude because it makes me think of churros, and that's just funny.

Totally... I guess it means "Little Hat" which could be even funnier if one were to think of it in a dirty way.

Yeah... Nothing special... He kept asking me about it, so I decided to bite the bullet and get it done for him with the quickness.
