Dammit, I Should'a Known

As soon as I stopped caring about inking, it was like I had a revelation. Since I can't NOT ink and color the cover to the damn thing, I found myself making another attempt at inking anyway- to surprising results. I was trying too hard to make it look like Transmetropolitan, but I'm no Rodney Ramos. Actually, Transmet's the only comic I own that consistently draws the lines in thick, so that approach was only hurting me to begin with. Plus, I realized I could just do the "secondary inking" digitally so that screwing up won't kill me.

I call it "Aria of Sorrow Syndrome." You can kill those goddamn Red Minotaurs for five hours and get nothing, but as soon as you give up on it, you get the soul from the very next one you kill. What should be awesome is frustrating.

So here's the cover in question:

Hm. Come to think of it...
People have been telling me that I've been improving at a ridiculous rate. Since I end up throwing out almost everything I draw, I thought they were exaggerating.

EDIT: I've posted the image on Image Shack, and it looks fine. I don't know why it artifacts so badly when I display it here, but I won't take chances with it when I post it on the site. I don't think it'll matter if just the cover is a PNG- the rest is black-and-white anyway. Also, the first two pages are done. After they're lettered, I'll post them.
