The San Jose SUPERCON (May 16-17) has an inking jam every year where all the guests ink the same pieces and then they're auctioned off at the show. I've never inked Kirby before so this was a real treat!!!! It's been so long since I did straight comic book inking! I need to do more of this. Trying to channel my inner Joe Sinnott/Frank Giacoia (two of the best comic book inkers EVER). 11x17 inked over a blueline (image printed in non reproducing blue ink). BTW, I don't like ink. This was rendered with a Windsor & Newton Series 233 synthetic #3 brush and Liquitex Soft Body Mars Black acrylic. I'm also doing a Mark Schultz piece in a totally different technique. I'll post it when I'm done.

This is lovely! I have to say, the inking was very well crafted. I can most definitely see the resemblance to Joe Sinnott's ink style in there-- if you want, I can show it to him for you^^ I think he'd really like to see it :D
Very well done, though!

Ok! I'll show it to him when I see him later and let you know what he thinks-- I'm guaranteed he'll love it. It's very very well done^^

Nice Job Joe, always thought you should be an inker! LOL!

But for reals, it came out great!
