Description
Horribly talented artist of 2000AD and Elephantmen fame posted pencils for what was to be painted image of this character -- Hip Flask -- and, yet again, I felt a strange compulsion to steal those pencils and ruin them.Well, actually, I didn't think this came out too badly, considering it wasn't originally intended for inking. I hope Boo doesn't mind!
You can see his original pencils, and the gorgeous full colour final piece, on his blog which is linked below:

Wow. I posted a comment on Boo's blog, just to make sure he didn't mind me swiping his pencils, and he responded:
"had a quick shufty at yer inks - bloody good job sir!"
I'm dead chuffed!

You should give serious consideration to doing a sideline job, Jim, this is great work!

Thanks, Conor!
TBH, the eventual goal is to be able to offer inking as an extra thing that I can do, especially since I get to deal with editors in a professional capacity now, but I'm concentrating right now on trying to get *good*, once I'm making some headway with that, then I'll try to add *fast* into the mix, and only then will I really feel confident about going out and selling my inking skills.
I've talked about doing some deadline-assisting inks on one book, but it didn't come to that, and I'm doing some artwork reconstruction on THE SECRET REPRINT STRIP that I'm re-lettering, so it's only a matter of time, I thinkβ¦
