msmarvel – Almond Ink

My 2nd commission for Michael Rankins this job was my 1st attempt at inking Scott Rosema whom I met last year at the Motor City Con. Mike & I are both Ms. Marvel (Carol Danvers) fans so this image was an extra hoot for me along with Avengers villainess Moonstone in her Thunderbolts’ Meteorite outfit. I used brush, markers and quill (flash lines) on this 11X17 art and I finished it on 7/27/2005.
