inks by some loser
this piece is equal parts brush, pen (meaning crow quill) and then tech pens (koh in nor)...I bounced around pretty good on this one in terms of tools and maybe techniques. The real challenge doing this piece was it really wasn't drawn to be inked. It was a lot of tonal pencil shading. I had to interpret the different tones and scribbles into nice patterns and forms of rendering and value that would not only aid the drawing but hopefully look cool.

I spent a long time looking at Ultimate Red Skull FINAL by ~Blasterkid and admiring the amazing amount of skill and detail put into this stunning ink work. Full view is an absolute must! (

The pencils are amazing but that applies to the inks to. Good inking is rare to find and you my friend nailed it. Also your styles match pretty well and they gine a wonderful textured, highly detailed and stylized piece of art. Excellent work from both of you
