The Overly Problematic Networking Attempt pt.4

          So, here is where outside influences start to affect my production.  During the summer I lost all of my inking supplies.  I kept them in a pencil bag for easy storage and portability, also at the time I was living off of the tail end of my loans to finish what I thought was my final class.  So needless to say I only bought what I needed for class, which was a .3 Copic tech pen and some 2 sized microns for story boarding.

          At the time of inking for the Korra fan art, I was living off of my parents while trying to get a job.  However I really did not want to use a mechanical line for this image.  I felt it would look better with a lot of line width, so I went and bought a size 2 Winsor Newton Series 7. That was a bad idea.  I overestimated how much line width I could play with, and that the brush size size is too big for me to get details while maintaining control.  So the inks wound up looking like this.
          
           They needed to be redone.  I also noticed that there was nothing to show the water in the background and some other issues I can't remember at the moment. So I went and redid my pencils.

          Then, since I couldn't afford to buy a new brush, I went ahead and inked them with my tech pen which is what I had hoped to avoid in the first place.

               Next up, the issues with coloring.
