My home internet is down, most likely, until the end of next week. I'm not getting any weird side-effects from not being connected to the internet all the time, but it is rather annoying as it happens to be the busiest month for me needing to send files to people and update things using the internet.
Oh well, I'll have to live without and try and organise things so I can carry on without.

Here's a sketch just about ready to go to the inking stage. I love keeping regular scans of work as it's nice to flick through and see how its evolved and where it's suddenly gotten better, or worse, and you have a record of the process.

Finished. Had some problems with the inks either soaking unevenly into the paper or sitting on top of each other instead of blending. but in the end it's turned out ok :)

Original is alcohol based ink and coloured pencil on A4 bristol board

Looking a bit yellow at the moment. Also having a bit of trouble with some of the inks :S maybe time for nibs to be cleaned. Where does one buy pure ethanol...?

I nearly completed the line-art for this over the weekend, but got dragged into playing quite a bit of multi-player Civ.
Went to the nice art shop and bought some new paper and pencil refills (that I don't *really* need right now) but I did get a shiny new pencil sharpener for 25p. Bargain!

For most people digital colouring is probably faster... not me... still working away at this piece.
Hopefully I'll remember to pick up the new ink tomorrow and bring it home
