Hi All:
This one was rushed a little as I'm leaving tomorrow for a weeks visit with my family. So no post next week.
This one I tried to add my detail and renderings, also use different pen tips, like a 3-5 micron tip for the outline of people, cars etc. Micron 2 for the permanent details within the outline: eyes, mouth ears, etc, then a 1 tip for the fluid details: creases in the skin, hair, teeth, nostrils, etc. I don't know if I've reached a higher level of artistry by stressing over such details(what does a nostril actually look like) or if I've just gone insane. Feels like insanity because the nostrils still don't look right to me.

See you all in 2 weeks.

Child, Please,
Don't close your ears,
Don't stop them up,
I love you so very, very much,
I have reached out to you,
in every way there was,
in every way there is,
in every way there will be,
I keep reaching,
So you might hear my speaking,
So you might be free,
So you might know truth,
So you might know my love for you,
Will you accept it?
Will you?
I have taken your wrongs on me,
I died a terrible, awful death so you could be free,
Will you accept me?
Will you accept me taking the punishment you deserved for your wrongs?
Will you accept you are forgiven?
Even for sins you have not yet done?
You are so wonderful and precious to me,
Will you accept my love?
Will you accept me?
My name is Jesus.

Hi all:
So trying to improve my inking with the tips provided by the pros I talked to at Comic Fest. Definitely room for improvement.
But I press on.
Hi All:
Back from PHX Comic Fest. Some ups and downs, but still grateful I went this year.
This page I finished before comic fest, along with a revision the big frame in the background. First time doing a revision and got a crash course in Photoshop elements. 2-2 for today so far.

Hi All:
Here's this week's page. I will not be posting next weekend as I will be at the Phoenix Comic fest(formerly Comicon because San Diego claims it can have the only Comicon). If I get the time and I'm not too worn out from the day, I will post pictures from the comicfest.
