I've been playing around more with inks. Bought myself a crowquill pen and some nibs. It gives surprisingly good line control. The solid blacks are filled in with japanese brushpen and then the pictures are scanned and coloured in Photoshop. I also used photoref more than I normally do. This allowed me to focus more on style rather than the design of the characters.
