Holy crap that's gorgeous. I love your cross-hatching skills.. and I'm jealous of them.

Thanks! Actually most of it is just hatching, without lines crossing (yeah...I'm being annoyingly technical:) )

If you like this sort of pen&ink, you should track down some books on Franklin Booth and J. C. Coll. You might like Durer woodcuts and Dore engravings too.

Yeah, I've been a "fan" for Dore for a while. You seem to have some of the similar influences that Frank Cho has when it comes to inking.

no problem. i like how you capture light within a somewhat monochomatic image, your style is quite powerful and i enjoy looking at it.
