Yow! That's quite a striking image!
Something I've often wondered with art like this - how do you go about electing which parts of it you want to block in as shadow? There's a lot of high-contrast stuff going on here - whenever I try to do something similar, I find that I generally misjudge the amount of shadow. My images tend to look either under-done or overly black.
HdE.

It may sound obvious, but It's all about practicing.. one trick is that, sometime, is better to leave in white some parts that in real life would be black as well as the opposite.

Thanks for the reply.
I guess you're talking about alternating values, right?
That's something I've been trying out a bit more lately. I find it's a bit of a struggle, as you don't necessarily lay the values down as logic would dictate. But as you say, it becomes a bit clearer with practice.
What I'd find kinda daunting bout an image like your line art is just the amount of shadow. I see other artists doing that stuff all the time, and it looks super-cool. But I just know that I'd tend to overwork things if I tried something similar.

Suh-weeeet! Is there any chance that I could get permission to have a crack at colouring this? Per favore?

Yes, he has 2 big flat swords on his hips, and another one, very long, on his back.

uh, the inking and the stark b&w is so gorgeous, I would take this just as it is, it's perfect without colour as well.
