Description True story.  

Karma decided to throw me for a loop the night before one of my illustration assignments was due, I suspect as a result of my putting it off so long.  Regardless, I improvised and had to make my previous progress match the different type of ink (from technical drawing pen to ballpoint) I had to use.  I swear, those super cheap BIC Crystal ballpoint pens are the AK-47s of the pen world - super effective and reliable in a pinch, not to mention they're capable of an infinite amount of textures.

WHAT those cheapo pens are my favorite kind! I use them for pretty much all my sketching!

Wow.....intense. And I agree with the BIC ballpoints--the saviors of the ink world!
Love all the movie references

Thanks!
I do love them.  I've always sketched in ballpoint pen, long as I can remember. In hindsight I think the sense of permanence helped me be more careful and precise when rendering.
Big Lord of the Rings fan here.

You're welcome!
I like them because of their control; they're like pencils to me. And they help me be more precise too  
There's one right here, too--not to mention I caught the Dark Knight Rises one there too

*laughs* classic! I think any artist can relate, but I love the detail you put into it. And the LotR paraphrasing is just so fitting!

Good job meeting your deadline - thanks for a laugh *grin*

Oh my gosh I totally know that feeling of utmost despair! Especially when inking a completely black background. (I also am kinda procrastinating right now...been working on too many presentations and papers over the last weeks and the allure of dA couldn't keep me away. )
