These are pages from a Tara story by Rock Baker and myself. There are two points of interest concerning this. The first is the size at which I inked them. They were reduced to fit two pages side by side on a sheet of bristol board turned longways...like this.
Why I had the urge to ink at a reduced size is a matter for mental health professionals to debate in years to come. I had inked at reduced size many times before. Suffice to say I now prefer full size.
The other point is that I decided to try my hand at a European style of shading. I believe I was wallowing in issues of Heavy Metal at the time. I'm not at all sure I could call this a success. Still, it was fun to play with.
Here are some pages cropped for better viewing...

I think the shading was hugely successful. It looks great!
