I used him to test a new inking technique - i'm proud to report that it worked BRILLIANTLY. I loved the eyeball-goop so much that i had to add it.

Good new inking ish good! And I love the eyeball goop too (We have so much in common! )
Anyhoo. Thankyou so much for making something so epic. Bwahahahha.

It looks great (and honestly, I feel silly every time after I critique you because there is so much I should learn from you, not the other way... like realistic drawing 
Also, what nibs are you using? Maybe using bigger nibs for more line variation can add something. I don't know if square-cut nibs are a good idea, but you might give them a try too (they give interesting effects, even if you won't use it for inking daily it sure is a neat exercise).
And a question: what do you prefer when it comes to inking - nibs or brushes? I have tried both and I still can't figure out what is better for me (and ink most of my stuff with pens and sharpie-like pens, heh).

Yeah - i really want to try some texturey inkings, but i've got a horrible tendency to go overboard. Any advice there?
I'm using some square-end nibs, but the paper is a bit absorby...it's using the smaller nibs that i have to get used to.
I much prefer nibs for thin line inking, but brushes are better for big black areas, and things like texturing hair.
Thanks for dropping by!

Um, I tend to go overboard with things like that too, but there was this advice I got in my school - when you ink a picture, mentally mark the darkest/black parts and the lightest/white parts, and do whatever you want with the rest.
