Acquisition, Page 5, inked

So, the finished inks have been sitting around my living room for a couple of weeks, but I've been too busy to scan it. So here it is:
This is actually the first time I've seen it without the pencil lines, so it's always looked like the version below. I've still got plenty of work to do on it, but again, that was the point of this, to try some new things.

Acquisition, Page 5 - I hate backgrounds

Here are the pencils I promised yesterday. I partly put this up to show how convoluted the composition and background got. It's my own fault - I wanted long streets and high buildings, so the perspective gets pushed to extremes. I think it came out well though. The inks will hopefully make the image a lot clearer.

Acquisition, Page 5 (Rough Sketch)

I'm posting this rough sketch because it took me ages to get a workable idea for the composition of Page 5. After a lot of bad ideas, this popped into my head, and I had to frantically scribble it down before I forgot it. It's not the easiest composition (this page is taking me ages), but I think it's the best for what I needed. The pencils for this go up tomorrow, and I hope it still has the energy this sketch has.
