Gah. I've gotten a lot better, but Inking is still very difficult for me. Especially as I get older, and the hand shakes a little more and the eyes blur a little more. Oof.

One of my favorites. I really liked this one. Still do.
I should've been happier back then. Life wasn't really bad. I just made it bad.

Another commission WIP. Moving figures around, fixing drawing mistakes, hoping I get the likenesses down more better. Pencil slow.
