Looking pretty good there, Dave. I could see this working in a B&W comic. Anthony and Valmor also impressed me this week. I wonder how the guaches compare with watercolors, and the classic Universal Studios monsters theme is a plus. Before I sign off... 
This is a closeup of a piece that I just scanned this afternoon. I used the following inking tools: - Pelikan brand fount India ink
- Zebra G-series cartooning nib (outlines)
- Hunt #104 crowquill nib (smaller details in the face)
- Winsor & Newton Cotman III #2 brush (black areas in hair)
This was done on a 12 × 9 inch sheet of 2-ply smooth finish Strathmore Bristol board, but I noticed the annoying feathering in the linework right away. Not so bad that it ruined the piece, but enough to make me wonder how it happened again, since my previous work on the same type of media this summer didn't get that. I suspect that the paper absorbed moisture from the air after being explosed to humidity (I opened the windows overnight).
