WAY past posting Edit:

apparently FA ate another one of my comments. =/ this is getting a little annoying but at least its marginally better than what happens on DA when their server eats entire submissions, that has yet to happen but that in mind I should probably backup my gallery to disc since its been a hard drive crash or two since I originally posted this.

if memory serves this was a doodle in the margins of something. I'm very glad I redrew it but the pose was slightly off in the facial features of the redux, that's a different story though. memory serves to remind me that this was roughly the size of a US quarter and drawn/inked the last time I spent $20 or so on a fist full of felt inking pens. I ended up using the finest one I had for this and despite how blotchy it is (read: crappy the inking is) its still passable considering how small it is on paper. My inking is as out of practice now as it was then so I won't beat it up to bad. it'll take me at least 4-5 months just to get back in stride =(
