Thanks for the kind words, Mikael and JT. 

I was going for more David Lloyd (V for Vendetta) than Frank Miller, but still appreciated.

Just for the record, it was inked using the PITT Brush pen with Indian ink for the solids.

Oh just for use of negative space, not his style in particular and stuff.

Yeah thanks to JB going on about PITT pens, it's all I use to ink anymore!

JT, I'm actually moving away from PITT's now. 

I still use them on occasion (if I need to be quick) and I've got the Big Brush version as well, but I'm getting more into Brush and Dip Pen again.  I worked on a project a few years ago and needed to be quick so used PITT's for a fair chunk of it, then decided that it was costing a lot so I went to brush and found that my brush technique had improved.

For the next little while I'm going to try brush for pretty much 100%, see what happens.

Right I getcha. See, I love dipping ink and brushing. I used to use it all the
time, the lines are thinner and at time's it's a little more "sketchy" the way
I work it, but ever since I started using the pens I've improved a whole lot
and really felt my "style" come through. I just love the control I have with
em.

Below, the Freddy was from a few years ago with dipping, and the JB
Challenge one was with PITT last year. They're good examples of how my
stuff ends up looking when I use each.

You should colour your work Mikael it would give it even more depth and make that strip work pop even more.
