When I get a chance to repost them somewhere else (maybe here), I'll reply here again. I used to have some drawings online, but both of the sites that hosted them no longer exist.

I'd be intrested in checking them :D I always am amazed to see people drawing, i think it's such a great gift ^^ You can also send me some on my mail if you prefer :) As I know some people working as Pro writers for comics ( in a big french company ) in France, I kinda "scout" for them sometimes ^^ Best regards, PEM- I thought so aswell ^^ Do you have some of your own drawings online somewhere or ?

I think there's a big advantage to having your own drawing ability, and I'm not sure if someone with absolutely no drawing talent could be an effective inker.

I mean in no way that inking is easier or anything, but i was wondering if you need a model to complete and finish it, or if you also have the ability to draw and ink from scratch yourself :) I really like your inkings and think they are really effectives ! Good job :) best regards, PEM- Hello from France,

I'd love to visit some day. Captain James Douglas is not a direct ancestor of mine, but I'm sure I'm related at some point. Thanks for commenting! I’ve never been there, but I bet it’s a great view.

I am typing this overlooking the channel where the Battle of the Saints was fought. Below me is Douglas Bay, named after Sir James Douglas who led the capture of the island of Dominica for the British in 1761. Was he (James) an ancestor of yours as well? RE Sir Charles Douglas.

And I don't give a crap if a superhero has loving parents or not. What does that have to do with it? An Lois Lane is annoying. Batman has catwoman - no comparison in the sack, I am sure. And superman is a slave to authority. Batman answers to no one. And yes, while TDK Returns 2 sucked, the original was one of the best comics of all time. And Frank Miller did Sin City. He doesn't suck. Superman is quite dumb, to repeatedly fall for the ever so banal ‘let’s whip out some kryptonite at the last minute’ trick.
