I believe your art tries to show the 'truth' as something so horrible, so dreadfully menacing that even a glimpse would be a catastrophe to the curious, and IΒ  believe you succeed. Β 
The first thing the caught my attention is the Eye('truth'). From the way it was placed beyond the gates and because of it's size, it gives an idea of something huge and menacing lurking beyond the gates. Choosing ink as material was a great choice cause since ink is very black it accentuate the darkness around the eye and amplify this menace.
The other points who draw the eyes in are, the black tendrils and the white figure of a man. While the eye does so mostly because his shear size and position inside the page(closely around the center), the tendrils and the 'silhouette' does so by the contrast of it's colors. This two elements also have an dual interaction: the man is smiling what normally would give comfort while the tendrils are reaching toward the viewer, what is a clear and immediate threat, despite that the man grim look uncanny(he is bearing his teeth) and both things are ghostly in appearance appealing to the paranormal. The letters would be the last thing to caught my attention, I can't quite read them and the only one I can is Elohim what is a name for the Hebraic God. I know it's from FMA so I don't think you could have changed it, but it you desire to play around with this concept and see what you could create, I wouldn't recommend using letters.
Because of this I think you were able to show the truth as a Lovecraft concept, something we should stay way from. Now there are some problems too.
The first is the light from your cellphone. I'm a traditional artist too, so I know how hard it is to digitize our pieces. What I do is, walk into a very well lit room, place my drawing on some place high, usually a shelf, so my shadow or my phone shadow don't block the light and then take a picture. After, as you may have noticed the contrast doesn't quite look the same, so I placed on Gimp and increase the contrast to something close to the original.
The other problem is the man legs, I think they are too short. You see, the distance from the feet to the knee should be around the same size from his hips to the knee, and both should be around the distance from the elbow to the end of the hand. Since the man end so close to the bottom of the page it would be hard to fit him, but you could have placed him seated over one leg or in a slightly different position, the position itself doesn't matter much the important is for him too look relaxed.
I think that is it, you are very good in composing the picture, you have no problem working with ink either. So my advice is too focus your study towards anatomy, in your profile you said you mostly draw women because you have trouble drawing man well I think that is the reason for you to draw more man Β

You've got a good mix of traditional inking techniques going on here...pointillism, scratching, negative space...this is really cool, and the foreshortening on those hands is really well done considering how wavy they are! I usually like to offer constructive criticism along with praise, but this is beyond my level to critique. Great piece!
