Comiculum Vitae (part 1)

Well, I just sent off the first four applications with my new comiculum vitae. So far, feedback from people online has been uniformly positive. I'll let you know what prospective employers think, once they recover from their initial shock slash laughter. If it works well, I could always turn them into a business - so if you want me to handcraft (rulers are only used in the penciling stage, not the inking stage) you a comiculum vitae (I haven't decided on a US-English pun yet) just let me know. All's I need is a bunch of pictures. Any takers? My own one took me five days (not full-time, of course): day one for script and panel layout, day two for page 1 pencil, day three for page 2 pencil, day four for page 1 inking, and finally day five for page 2 inking. I am still using technical pens, which are easy to use, but they're not really black, more dark grey. So next I'll be practising with nibs and ink, or if that doesn't work out, I'll have to dust off my old Rotrings and get some refillable cartridges.

These pictures by-the-way constitute my first attempt to draw with a brush - they're just absentminded doodles I did in ten seconds to get rid of the ink in my brush, and they came out amazingly well, IMGO.
