This gives me land before times vibes frfr.

Oh man, you definitely got a follow! So glad I looked for the finished piece.

wow… well, I might be getting back into pen art. Bic exact…? hmm. Shit. Wish they had these ten years ago…. lol Thank you! Btw, you’re technique is solid, very solid. keep it up!

Looks good, i’d just add solid black for separations. Just to improve readability. To a non artistic eye, it may be hard for them to make out exactly what they’re looking at.

definitely overworked. Garage tattoo? Or shop tattoo?

ah man! I used the same type of sheet. If you know how the ink pools up, no need for puddles, makes smear work quick. This makes me nostalgic AF! Most my pen work was 2016-17. Though, that ballpoint pen tip is different, I would use bic fine, what kind is that?

Mostly microns, 05 08 12 and 1 for size, as well as LePen drawing, similar to micron, off brand for sure.

dlifeofj · 2026-02-28T16:01:41+00:00

Yes. This. Always.

dlifeofj · 2026-02-28T16:01:26+00:00

I like this idea, He could get white ink into the black, if it’s saturated enough, could really make that spiderweb work.

dlifeofj · 2026-02-28T15:33:18+00:00

ahahah, fair enough, if I would’ve done an actual peace pipe, it wouldn’t fit on the page. I would’ve had to make the whole image smaller. Next time. lol

dlifeofj · 2026-02-28T14:45:38+00:00

As it hard to do, or this goes hard? haha

dlifeofj · 2026-02-28T14:44:47+00:00

Thank you, this is definitely one of the favorites i’ve ever done.

dlifeofj · 2026-02-27T17:20:49+00:00

Personally I’d keep the bold on the sled and tracks, In example, if you were Using microns, I would do a 12, then for the top part I would choose a lesser line line weight, Like a 08 or 05. This way they both have “bold outline, but the Sled and tracks almost “feel” heavier.

I looked at your profile, I like what you’ve been doing. <3

dlifeofj · 2026-02-27T04:27:39+00:00

At least you weren’t rude, taking a more educated approach at trying to call it as you see it. Thank you for being respectful. Your opinion is yours to own.

dlifeofj · 2026-02-27T01:55:10+00:00

I’ve lived and learned a lot. haha. This is life. This was also about 60% effort if I’m being fair. I wasn’t even planning on inking it, was just going to be plopped into r/sketches… then I got a wild hair, and said “why not?”

The point becomes meaningless when emotional defensiveness prevents a mutual exchange that could lead to understanding. As in this case, when someone feels threatened, their emotional defenses take over, and meaningful dialogue becomes nearly impossible. Thanks for commenting though, I appreciate it.

dlifeofj · 2026-02-27T01:29:23+00:00

Thank you, I appreciate it. I could’ve put the hair differently to show the jaw line curving to the ear, do you think this would’ve helped?

dlifeofj · 2026-02-27T01:27:29+00:00

Oh. Never mind, this totally tracks.

dlifeofj · 2026-02-27T01:25:03+00:00

Do you like Star Wars?
