Another Pen and Ink Elric Illustration

This piece was done with pen and ink and then toned in photoshop. It was great to really get into mixing those mediums up for the tonal effect. THis is a much different approach than I have for most of my other work although I think it might be something I need to pursue in the future.

IT's difficult to create the kind of mood you get with this piece from pure pen and ink, and I was considering watercolor for the tones, but watercolor over ink can be risky with smearing and I wanted the lines to be clean and sharp.
