Description
I was cleaning up my desktop today for the first time in, oh, ever. Came across a bunch of stuff that I wouldn't want to post on its own but is kinda cool enough for me to put in the effort. Here are a couple of inks that didn't quite pass muster, but have interesting bits and pieces.First and third weren't for a class: selkie and then Margaret and William from Hazards of Love, second was from an assignment where I was given three random words and had to make an illustration: Wizard, Crowded, Enigma. This is about 1/3 of the image, the other 2/3 had the enigma, and were also terribly boring.
doot doot hopefully I'll have some new work soon. Vacation is ever so stressful.

My goodness <3. I guess if the illustration purposes fell short you still have some very sexy ink examples.

As soon as I saw the third image I wondered if it was from Hazards of Love! I love the way you framed the scene with the dark foliage and the horse's body.

Gorgeous used of highlights and shadows! What ink do you use?
Also, a good while back I saw something you had said that inspired me to listen to The Decemberists. Thank you ever so much. <3 If I may say so, I think your illustrations of their work (and heck, your art in general) are of equal caliber to theirs.

a compliment INDEED. Thank you SO much, and I'm glad to have given you the tip!
I use speedball super black india ink (that's just what it's called haha)-- I like it because it has a little more body than a lot of others, it really gives you a solid looking black as opposed to sinking into the page. Personal preference, though.

I sat there and thought how much the last one looked like Margaret and William, and I was right! Great job! I love this.

Everything about the first and last panels is great. They read right away and their tonal balance is precisely awesome. The second panel with the crows took me a bit to figure out what was happening. The crows push back a lot into the background. the scholar fellow is hiding.

You and Ink are getting along quite well. I hope you are thinking of getting married. The bottom one is my favorite. The gesture of the horse and girl are perfect.

and by "my studio" I mean the one that you build for me with your own two hands with my very particular specifications. I'm very high maintenance.
