How many passes do you do with the white pens to get it the white lines that solid? I suspect the surface has much to do it?

I usually end up using half the ink in the pen just getting the white solid enough :\

Really I only do one, maybe 2 "passes", though I think it's more to do with when to use em and when not to. They're really great for that fine detail, nut not consistent on larger areas at all.

I use them on paper, up to maybe 200gsm

Your lines are so clean, yet alive and visceral. It's like your art is the equivalent of a super computer becoming self aware, building itself a set of appendages and going and living in the woods because it wants to commune with mother earth... err.. or something like that ( ... )

Ok, I really don't know what to say, so I'll leave it at "thankyou". :-)

You're welcome! anonymous January 31 2007, 16:59:30 UTC
My wish would be that Conluvio would be, like 200+ pages. I would love that.

It's strange, I've come to your work late in the game, and I am so totally impressed with your artistic talent - and your writing skills are tight as well. Is there anything you can't do? :)

I'm thinking you're one of the best artists out there. period.

Keep posting samples, its much appreciated!

Hey - here's a crazy random idea, you and Del Toro hook up to do a movie version of Wormwood. :) :)

Again thanks for sharing your talent with the rest of us.
A fan.

Okay, question: you've made one of your awesomest-est pencil sketches, and you're getting ready to ink it. You start scribbling away with your nibs, slapping on some blacks, and then you realise... you totally ruined it! (yeah... right... as if) It was a really good pencil sketch, and somehow during inking, there was something that went wrong, and now it's lost that... je-ne-sais-quoi.

What do you do?

Do you re-trace the original on lightbox? Do you start all over again, with a new sketch, maybe in a different pose? Do you try to correct the inked piece?

(I'm asking this because I'm about to start inking stuff soon-ish... and I'm a bit scared of wrecking it)
