Thanks for the nice comments, guys! Photo, glad you dig it!
@seb, yup it... lingers. I love the stuff, tho. It's slightly warmer in tone than India ink, which is nice for portraits. It also blends and overlays differently. Kraken Blood!
Thanks Paul - I have posted stuff here before, but I've mostly been busy with work and photography lately. I've been working to rectify that and hope to make more time for my illustration soon.
