Ooooh nicely done, Skyfire doesn't get enough attention!
I'm liking the gray scale, am I correct in assuming this is a marker piece? What markers do you use?

Thanks! And yeah, it's all markers. The black lines are Sharpies of various widths, and the greys are... I think the Blick store brand in this case? I remember them being super stinky in that particularly small dealer room, which is why I've tended to go for name brands like Prismacolor these days. (Copics seem the best in that regard, but they're just so expensive...)

Oh! Prismacolor tends to work pretty well, they're not my favouite to colour with but I always wound up using them for gray scale thumbnails and such. I'm impressed they play nicely with sharpies, I've
I'm not sure how wide spread the brand is, but there's a marker called "Touch" that I particularly like using, I personally find it on par with copics and it's a bit cheaper.

Yup! That's the brand, they come with a brush tip and a chisel tip like Copics do.
Whoops, looks like I got distracted halfway through writing my reply. I was only going to say I've had issued with my markers streaking my line art when I use the "good" inking pens, so I find it surprising how well behaved sharpies were for you. XD

Yep, for sketches, I use these for my black lines:

And this for big swaths of black (super stinky, but luckily I don't usually need to use it for long):

I'll have to give sharpies try for my line-art c:
