Look! Fanart of underage characters! Oh noes!
..thought I should actually throw some fanwork up here. I've been working on my inking skillz lately, and tonight at inking practice I was actually on a roll (for me) so I let myself ink something from my old sketchbook for last. It's amazing how much even an amateurish inking job can do for a crappy old drawing. :D
So this is supposed to be my two favorite Pinkwater characters, Rat from the Snarkout Boys and Alan Mendelsohn from Alan Mendelsohn. (I'm ... kind of a fan of his work. Kind of a lot.)

That was with a dip pen with a basic split nib (I've been messing with quills for ages, so that's what I take to best, although I'm a bit lazy with it already). You can see where I let too much ink on the page and then, to make it even better, put my hand on it and smeared it. Also, this was my first time really trying to do shading with feathering, and I suck. The pencils were about four years old and had been sitting on the back page of my sketchbook in the interim. It's kind of obvious how I couldn't do hands or feet then. (I've greatly improved on hands. Still don't like how feet come out, though.)
