Description The Shadow Lords used a Galatic Portal System to travel to various planets in the solar systems they have visited.
Rictor and two other rebel Shadow Lords are about to leave through one of the portals. It is through one of these devices that Rictor fled from his home world, to a satellite station that orbits around the Planet that would become the Earth colony of New Prussia.
Pen and Ink.

Like the stippling. Question for you regarding the dots. I am presently doing some stipple work in one of my drawings. Using the back of the nib gives me very small dots, like dust, using the front of the nib gives me the size I want but they are obviously not round. Do you know of any loose nibs whih will produce a round dot?

Thanks!
The best answer I can give, is for you to experiment with various pen nibs. I have bought allot of antique pen nibs from the UK, and around the world. Each pen nib is unique in its own personality of line. Go on Ebay, and look for auctions with assorted, like new nibs. When you find a nib that you really enjoy using, start searching for other auctions with that nib.
Pen nibs make wonderful lines and stippling. Finding that perfect nib is an ink artists quest.

Besides pen nibs, hunt for different kinds of paper, and ink. Experiment with ink. Winsor and Newton is great ink by my standards.

Thanks, I've already got my hands on some Bristol board and some small pieces of watercolour paper. Also going to order some Indian ink from WN. Pretty good just now because having doodled away in isolation for so long, technique and material never entered the equation. Now I'm in DA the material possibilities appear endless and its going to be some time before I settle on what I like.
As an aside I have bought a bottle of Prout's Brown Ink, the name was difficult to resist, sounds like a name from Dickens.

The one on the right seems to be telling the one on the left "You first."

Indeed, it would be a bit frightening the first time thru the portal!
