This is my new comic! had I talked about it before? I can’t remember XD. I’m excited, my goal is to do 20 pages a month (while jiggling other things too) and I’m on schedule, good me!
I’m so poor I can’t afford bed sheet, hahaha.
Speedball ink, I like it so far, need to try some more tho, before I decide if I like it better than higgins.
I also got proper brush cleaner, and this is my poorman brush soaking unit: 
Random find, Utada Hikaru reading Biomega. 
I got two new inks to try, courtesy of my friend. Here’s short reviews of all the inks I tried with brush so far.
Japanese “Manga Ink” (dunno if that’s a brand or what, that’s all it said), ~ $5.00 – $7.00 (1 oz)
Thick, dries fast — let it sit out uncovered and chunks form — leaves brush sticky, doesn’t last long between dip, had to work off excessive ink to get desired stroke, but is a very dark, opaque black.
Dr Ph Martin, $1.94 (1oz)
Thinner than the previous, perhaps too much, making it hard to make fine lines, and requiring you to reload your brush more often. It dries very fast, stiffening the brush which means you can’t just use water to wash your brush when done.
Standford Design Higgins $2.22 (1oz)
More viscous than Ph Martin, allowing for finer lines and lasting longer between dips, but less opaque.
Standford Higgins Black Magic $2.14 (1oz)
Like a cross between Ph Martin and Design Higgins, with good viscosity and opacity.
Windsor & Newton Black India Ink ~ $5.00 – $7.00 (1oz)
Thin, good flows but doesn’t last long between dip.
Some of the unaltered scans, showing the different between each inks. 
On the left is Black Magic Higgins, on the right is Windsor & Newton.
Design Higgins, a little less opaque, which really doesn’t matter after run it through magical photoshop.
Overall, I can’t decide if I like Design Higgins or Black Magic Higgins more. I’ll probably try using both for now till they run out, hopefully I’ll be able to make up my mind by then. ♥
I don’t normally draw after existing images (except photo references or a few times I tried other style of art), but in one episode of Bakuman, Saiko practiced by copying Dragon Ball (altho I don’t know what you can get from copying outdated style, wouldn’t it be better practice to copy more recent works of Toriyama? but who am I to say? haha) and I thought, hey, why don’t I do that too?
so yeah! copy ahoy! 
I serisouly love this brush and ink, and Saiko’s hair, hahaha.
I also understand why I didn’t do it. Copying other existing works is too restrictive for my liking.
for new comics, taking a break from drafting.
First, cg that I was trying to finish, but, you know what they say about my concentration, hahahaha….
*sob*
The sketch: 
A few random doodles, still trying to find balance between speed and details
(no, that dogman isn’t feeling up Nefertiti)
a sketch for new comic page:
and this, is what keeping me from ever finishing anything, ever. 
I went to dentist, therefore: comic.
Some commissions I’ve done a while ago. Finally able to show them.
Google+ inspired some doodles. Made with Manga Studio.
