Description This is something I found on 's site that I had forgotten about. I did this back when I lived in NYC (about two years ago), and at the time, this was pretty good for me. The image actually doesn't look that bad, but trust me. If you saw the actual inked page in front of you, you'd be able to tell that I was a serious hack back then.

Here's a link to the pencils on bobbett's DA site [link]

I'll start scanning in the stuff I showed Marvel this week, just in case you were all wondering what I was trying to "WOW" them with.

Really solid inks, man. I underestimated the difficulty of inking in that style until I tried it.

Thanks a lot, and thanks for the fav! Yeah... the cartoony Joe Mad style of comic book art always looks far more basic and simple, but the curves and line weights have to be a lot more playful with the light source to pull it off. This style of inking is actually my strength, but put me on someone like Romita Jr. and I'm overwhelmed. lol. Thanks for appreciating the difficulty. Your work shows that you understand it, since you pull off some nice linework in your stuff.

Sure thing, man. I'll just post the high res inks in my scraps. I should have them up by tonight. I have to find that page and re-scan it. Shouldn't be a problem though.

Holy frag... the inks on that are incredible. O_o It's the kinda stuff my college professors wanted to get out of me, yet's on a level I still have yet to reach... Dang, man. Killer.

Lol, thanks. I need to go back and show my college professor this stuff someday. I think he'd get a kick out of it. Thanks again

You still use the old Kodak clones?
Ha, those are so last tuesday.
Join the revolution.
Microsoft Easyclone,
Guaranteed to make an army in 4 days or your money back, 45,000 Bill Gates can't be wrong.

"Easy clone, Easy clone,

EASY CLONE!"
Pretty nice inking job by the way

"45,000 Bill Gates can't be wrong." Heh heh, that man me laugh.

Oh, this picture reminds my of watching the 100 top toys on VH1 last weekend, and a little segment called "Cobra Commander's Day Off" where he went around annoying people with stupid pranks (Ie- stealing Destro's lunch). It was great.

Glad you liked the inks, and thanks.

That's freakin' awesome. I'd have let there be just a little bit of a line to accentuate the shape of Snake-Eyes' head, but that's me.

I've really got to talk you into inking something for me someday.

This is why you deserve to be with the "big boys". This is hands down an awesome work. Great spotting, nice lineweight, good feathering (something I can't do for shit) and good haloing. Terrell's pencils and your inks..........definately a one-two punch of solid work. Keep it up and can't wait for the Marvel portfolio.

Heh, thanks a lot, man. Scanning in pages from the portfolio now (though it's mainly independant stuff I've done in the past).

Your inks are so strong. You really know how to enhance an artist's work. I love Rell's stuff, but I love it more when you two work together.

Thanks a lot, man. That's what inkers like to hear. Terrell and I do make one heck of a nice team. One day, I'm hoping to be fast enough for the two of us to work on some cool projects. We've had the chance to do it in the past, but I'm just to slow to be used right now. One day though. One day.

Personally I'd like to chain your ankles together and give you both a room in my house for a year or two.

Thanks. Terrell and I have always made a solid team. Even way back when we weren't as good. He makes a lot of the inking easy for me. I just make sure that it looks as good as it can.
