Finished this page before receiving my rapidograph pens. I'll play around with them on the next.

Colossus & Nightcrawler on a mission - what's not to like?

It took all of my discipline to not put an exclamation point after 'KROOM'.

I really had fun with this page. I'm constantly learning which tools to use for the different material texture all the while staying as faithful to the pencils as I possibly can.

 

Page 16 gives me some Walt Simonson inking vibes.

Pretty amazing that you sensed Walt Simonson in those inks - He's one of the ones I've been studying. In fact, I'm currently inking an image he recently posted! Good eye

I had scanned this page into Photoshop with the intention of really cleaning it up and smoothing out some of the lines but figured I would leave it as is - warts and all. I'm hopeful this will train me to get things right the first time!

Previously inked but went back to correct some things and minimize brightness/contrast

I have just gone back and looked through all 94 pages of this thread (my eyes are burning... It's a lot of pages...) and your inking of the page above is about 10 times better than your first attempt.

You've come a long way, kiddo.

I can't believe you went back and checked out all of those early inking posts - no wonder your eyes are burning! I must say I did that about a month or so ago and had an inkling I was improving because I can't even look at my early pages without cringing (:
