Pen & Ink - "The Long Rain"

A pen and ink for the story that I posted bits of previously.

"The body was twisted steel, wrapped in burned leather. It looked like a wax dummy that had been thrown into an incinerator and pulled out after the wax had sunk to the charcoal skeleton. Only the teeth were white, and they shone like a strange white bracelet dropped half through a clenched black fist."

i found a printout of this in roskamp and i say damn, who did this, it looks like something kyler would do, but i know kyler can't do this with ink. thats a compliment, fyi. Also, i think it looks better when you orient it vertically, that way it doesn't look like he's playing air-guitar.

I love this piece.
I know it had to be black and white, but what about something like this to emphasize the white teeth?
