this is for a jelly I am doing over at I am pretty proud of this piece because as much as I am not happy with the brush work [ALL of the inks are done with a micron brush] I did everything by hand with no computer help (of course cleaning after scanning doesn't count).... I DID add a gradient to the planets and moons to give them some depth, but that will be done next time if necessary and I'll add washes to the whole piece to create it.

The more I am using these micron brushes (they suck, they splinter and it's extremely hard to control when you get a fine fine line) the more I want to buy a real Windsor newton brush with some India Ink .....

..... too late to color this for the jelly, but it'll be done soon enough.

EDIT: I know you guys are tired of this image (I'm sorry:[) but every time I've looked at this image, with the legs looking as stumpy and as bad as they were i've been getting pretty angry when looking at what should be one of my best illustrations (damnit, I actually did something original here! lol) so I've finally fixed his legs!
