    Thats so cool! Incredible work

    Could I ask what pen(s) you used? On the right looks like a brush tip?

    I would love to know how you managed to get such clean lines, if you only used a brush tip type pen? Whenever I try with one, my hands either shake too much trying to be really gentle to get a fine line, or the line ends up way thicker than I intended.

    OP is not the original artist (and literally states the artist in the title) - I missed that, my bad. Not calling OP out

    If anyone has suggestions or comments on using brush pens, that would be really appreciated!

      I would just look into calligraphy-style pens! This is definitely doable with that type of pen; calligraphy itself is an art form requiring lots of brush control to get right, so mastering this brush requires tons of practice. But you definitely can achieve the control to get both fine and thick lines out of one tool, so that’s a plus :)

      Also, this sort of brush, imo, when done right, introduces a lovely organic ‘jitter’ feeling to line art.

      This is a common one I’ve seen: https://a.co/d/fBBulyU

    The Electric Monk was a labour-saving device, like a dishwasher or a video recorder. Dishwashers washed tedious dishes for you, thus saving you the bother of washing them yourself, video recorders watched tedious television for you, thus saving you the bother of looking at it yourself; Electric Monks believed things for you, thus saving you what was becoming an increasingly onerous task, that of believing all the things the world expected you to believe.

    Yes I saw the other one saying the same words…

    That is incredible work.

    However, I’m not interested in the instruments…

    The Right-hemisphere-dominance that that was done in, is AWESOME!

    The wholeness, the its-own-formed-suchness, of everything in that…

    Our world needs much more of this kind of meaning!


    IF you ever find yourself wanting to render stories, like manga, or something,

    THEN THE books to read, are John Truby’s “The Anatomy of Genres”, & “The Anatomy of Story”.

    ( the equivalent for story-editing is Coyne’s “The Story Grid”, btw )

    Truby’s wrong about what humor’s base is ( humor is strange-loop, or moebius-strip,

    where one walks you around a circle, but … now somehow you’re upside-down for some reason??

    IOW, humor is surprisingly-violated expectations, see?

    Also, it isn’t US Wild West village that is the archetypal village: the archetypal village is the Tribal Mother Village, of the previous … 2 million or so years!

    But the entire sea of psychology he’s crammed into those 2 books, if you’re interested in outclassing your younger-self as totally as you can, evolving as far, & as competently as possible, then please dig into those 2.

    Even reading the samples of them would hook you, wouldn’t it?

    ( :

    Notice that he explains the genres have to be understood in sequence, because of the psychological-development each one is concentrating-on…

    Anyways, thank you very much for making my day much richer, with your good work to see.

    Salut, Namaste, & Kaizen!

      BTW, yes, after commenting I realized that the poster wasn’t the artist,

      but if the actual-artist ever comes-across the recommendation above, then good.

      If not, the recommendation still stands: Truby, the son of a West Point general & instructor, who studied story, is a true researcher.
