I used Devin as the subject of an experiment I was doing with inking and linework. Now, the reason that the lines are shaky is not me - It's the tablet I'm using. It's an old, banged up WACOM Graphire II that's been through much in its time, and as a result is sort of retarded when it comes to smooth lines.
So, just imagine it as smoother, and that's what it would look like.

I think the image is cute. ^^ Onta's critter is a cutey. :D
Question though, are you inking in Photoshop? What program are you using. Newer versions of PS do have some functions in the brush menu that help you with the shakey lines. Mainly clicking on the smooth check box. That does help.
Also, if you want some nice programs for inking smoother lines (PS can be well, hard to get smoothness) I'd suggest checking out Open Canvas or Painter. ^_^ Both are really good. I just started using them to digital ink myself.

I like the shakiness - it seems to come out well in the right places. However I know that's not what you were going for, and I know that's super frustrating. (Liz's WACOM tablet has a funny 'dead zone' in the upper right corner, I want to kill it)
You did a great job with it overall though! The expression is nice, and I like the placement of his ears.
