why? If you buy Green Monk at the party you can still get a custom brush sketch as explained here. Plus, I’ll be offering a discount on Green Monk with the purchase of any comic at Black Cat.

So, come hang out, chat about comics and help me celebrate Green Monk.

Sketches for yesterday and today, both with a slight George R.R. Martin influence on them.
The first sketch is playing around with some dry-brushing (because I was having a hard time getting the ink to flow in the brush pen) the second sketch is a tree with a face (I got the ink to start flowing).
