Rather than putting them on ebay might be worth listing them on Gumroad/Storeenvy/Etsy and have a permanent wee store where you can cycle things in and out.
Something I am trying to do myself, but other things being in the way as I was hoping to start doing Kregeneration prints and the like and my lego stuff.
As for the soft pencil lines. Might be worth if you can get a lightbox/board and have the roughs done on layouts underneath so as to keep the card for the inks.

Cheers, dudes. I've heard of Etsy before, so I think I may dip my toe in there first. A lightbox is a heck of an idea, any ideas where I may find one?
Yeah, if I make it to AA I'll be sure and bring a few down. Not that I'm sure how the committee feels about having an unlicensed artist selling wares on the grounds...

You could post on forums beforehand for commissions that people could pick up, rather than hawking at the actual con. |

Okay guys, something new that I'm working on. These things are all playing card sized. Very nice work indeed. Those are cracking. Sadly my financial circumstances at the moment don't allow me to consider a commisioned piece. But I shall bear thy subtle plug in mind for The Future. Karl |

Really like the cards, they look great.
I won't be at AA this year, but depending on prices / if you could post/email it, I would definitely be up for a paid commission.
In terms of the inks onto card, I'd suggest going digital with something like Manga Studio EX4 for your mass-produced stuff. That way you could draw on paper as normal and then get really clean lines onto card/print onto glossy card without risk of smudging. Manga Studio EX4's a bit like photoshop in terms of using layers, but it's much better suited to drawing/emulates traditional pen strokes much better. - A good example would be Nick Roche's MTMTE #1.

Cheers for the advice felas! Sadly anything like Manga Pro is a little beyond my means at the mo, as is a lightbox, but I shall certainly be bearing them in mind. Etsy I've had a poke around seems interesting, assuming you can get the interest...  Mean time, I thought it might be interesting to show you what my work actually looks like before I make it all pretty with inks and photoshop magic.  Doubt I'll actually bother cleaning this one up, but there you go. It's odd how sometimes you can lose a lot of the personality of a picture when you reign it in with inks, isn't it? |

Very nice.
Yeah, I find sometimes the roughness of some sketches/pencils appealing and then when I ink it, it's a bit too static and clean.

Those of you whom have added me on Facebook, Deviantart or Tumblr will have seen this already...  Redrawn page 16 of the MTMTE issue " The Gloaming", as a practice for my storytelling abilities. All the respective dialogues should still be in the same panels as originally. I quite like it, and the Roche panel homage that was my starting point. |

Very nice.
Nowt wrong with being obsessed about E.J's designs. They are swish.

 Just throwing this one in... I normally have a lot of difficulty with profile shots, so I'm really chuffed with how these guys turned out. |

 Started this in May. Yeah, I forgot about it. I have a Getaway started too from then, but I still need to put the finishing touches to him. |

Thanks man! Here's some more...  Everyone's new favourite creeper, Getaway and..  Old man Kup. Never drawn this version of him before, so.... it was fun. To be honest, if I start to enjoy pencilling this much I may need to find an inker... |

Those are both really nice work! The spidery lines on Kup especiallu are great.

 I may never ink again! Bwa ha ha! I did this a few weeks ago, but haven't posted for fear of spoilers for this years AA comic. But now, with but a week to go, I feel it's okay. |

A couple of days late, but that Backstreet is fantastic. The Nickel is quite fun as well, there is something...odd in the right way about it.
