Description
Here's another Inking Sample done years before I started working professionally. The character's Cable from X-Force. Pencils were done by Chap Yeap and inked by myself with vellum paper on top of pencil photocopies..When I was creating Inking Samples, I would pick nice splash pages and covers to work on. Often times when I show my portfolio at conventions, I would get asked if I have sequential pages. That was one of the reason why I did that X-Men sequential page I have in my gallery. This was the other "sequential" page, yet at the same time, it looked like a splash page. You see that smaller narrow panel on the bottom right of this image? That's a smaller panel of Cable climbing down a ladder. So when I was asked if I had any sequential pages along all the splash page and cover inking samples, I would say, "Here you go, look at this one."
Check out the areas with the stars in the background. You can almost see the wrinkle patterns from the vellum paper when they were filled in with black ink. Vellum paper was not fun to work on at all.

Yeah Cable! ...although I like Deadpool more...haha. Anyways, awesome job as always. And yeah I noticed the wrinkles. I couldn't figure out what the hell you had done. "Is that page wet...? Did Walden scan a wet page? ..no...he's not that stupid..."haha. When I did court room arm we had to use vellum paper too. It was a pain to color on that paper with markers because too much ink made it wrinkle like that. Bah!

Yeah. Those wrinkles are on a few of my sample pages. Some of them look like smudges on the Black with stars area. When I pulled these inking samples out to look at, they still look as if it's wet and not dried yet. Even thought I've finished them a very long time ago.
Inking on vellum isn't fun. It's just one step above inking on toilet paper if you can imagine how ink will work on that.

Very nice thinking (sort of pin up/sort of sequential). Yeah, didn't care for vellum paper either.

Thanks goodness for Blue Line print to ink work these days. Vellum paper is something to never look forward to.
