It's been said in above comments, but I feel the same....The rendering of your lines is breathtaking. I love how it is abstract but still a hint of the subject matter is there. Nice job!

I keep seeing it to be ribs bared through fur?
maybe its just abstract but that's definitely what I see.
I love the way the ink dances with the lines, the textures are cool.

i really have to look up me some brush pen, it looks lovely. nice job again.
is it like a pen but with a weaker, floppy tip?

Pretty much. If you want to just try it out, I recommend trying out the felt tipped Faber Castell brand brush pens or the Sakura brand ones. They're about 2-3 dollars or so, but they're pretty effective. I use the Pentel Pocket Brush which is a refillable brush pen that runs from 13-20 dollars, but its the closest thing to a real brush because the tip has real bristles instead of felt. Goodluck!

the faber castell ones seem to be a little stiffer if you want that. the pentel one rocks so hard tho
