This was the beginning of my work with ink. As you can tell I wasn’t really safe with using inks for shading. Using hatching and crosshatching was something entirely new to me but I was really interested in learning the technique. Right now my inking has gotten a lot better but I still have some problems with backgrounds. Anatomy is another obstacle for me but I am working on it. Hopefully you guys will see the improvement as I post more of my new stuff.
This particular work is a drawing I did for a friend of mine. This is Algeroth, who was his character in the game Ultima Online. A real griefer the guy was and he asked me to portray the character in art form which I did for him. Maybe later on I will draw a revised form of this for comparison purposes. Anyway, hope you guys like this one.
