This Is My First Post On Inking- I Have Prelims, Sketches, And Finished Pieces, But Not Inking, So I

This is my first post on inking- I have prelims, sketches, and finished pieces, but not inking, so I figured this would be a perfect start. This is a fan piece I did of Cardia, the main heroine in Code Realize ~The Guardian of Rebirth~ on the PS Vita. I have only played the prologue and the first chapter at my best friend's place (she introduced it to me- as with Hakuoki, which I also love dearly!), but I fell in love with it very quickly as I love otome games and Steampunk- it was the perfect storm! Anyway. This piece was inked with a G Tec Pilot black pen in .04, on smooth Bristol in the 300 series by Strathmore, like most of my work. The size is 11x14 instead of my usual 9x12 since I wanted to extend her skirt. Smooth Bristol is probably my favourite paper ever- it can handle marker VERY well and even watercolour, but the latter takes practise, so I wouldn't recommend it for beginners. Though, it definitely is the most versatile paper I've ever used- plus, it's very easily accessible and almost always has a deal on so I can get it for cheaper than usual! :D

This is actually my most recent piece, other than my pencil sketch I uploaded yesterday. This is also an Angelique piece, in fact, it’s intended to be one of the covers for her part of my comic’s universe. I did the background and apples in Akashiya Sai brush pens in various greens, yellows, and browns, and then I did everything else in Copic, Promarkers and a Pilot G Tec .04 pen for the inking, like usual. I also used gold and white gel pens for accents. I rather like the inking I did for this one, so I’ll be trying to integrate the thicker inking for other pieces in the future!
It’s so nice to see Terra getting such pretty fan art- Final Fantasy VI is one of my favorite video games EVER!

Stunning fan art of Terra!
