After what seems like a while I contributed some more work to Huzzah.
I'm still sticking with un-inked artwork, and I'm still in thinking I need to work harder at it, but deadline pressure has robbed me of objectivity on this page.
I was really pleased with how the Blue Devil pic I did came out, and what I felt worked was the lose and rough quality, but it also had some of the odd shapes I like (anatomical accuracy be damned!), so I thought I'd persue that. Getting the balance between solid drawing and something more personal is tricky, and I'm not sure I'm there yet, this page looks a little too rough to be 'proper' drawing, and a little too restrained to be as expressive as I'd like. This is where 'Covered' and 'Huzzah' really compliment each other for me, one encourages me to just have fun and mess about because a much better artist has done the hard work, the other forces me to work to bring my drawing up to the standard of everyone else involved. Reminds me of reading how Moebius liked how his work under that nom de plume informed his work as Jean Giraud and vicey versey. Nice how some interests encourage this sort of schitzophrenia:)
