HATCHING (Patreon)

This page is a good example of how chaotic - and yet intentional - my inking is. You can see a whole barrage of different inking techniques here - two different types for skies alone. And the last panel looks like something I would fucking hate for more than one panel  - but in ONE panel it works good, giving way more "information" than another style wold give in the same panel.

Is it a good way of treating your comics inking or is it not? I'm not sure, but I love it anyway. And at least when I look at some of my old pages I can remember what I was thinking when working on them, what I felt during the time etc. 

(Slavic Nihilism #1 is especially nostalgic in that regard - I remember how I inked the very first page of "Malice" while watching "Eternal Shining..." movie with Katia, page 5 was inked in a cafe where we went with our friend who just moved to Saint Petersburg, etc. )

And of course, flashback sequences are the  best scapegoat for messing with inks! My previous Western book had a bunch of those in every issues, so I ended up juggling around 6 different styles in one book.
