I dunno, I think it looked better as a pencil sketch. I know, I know, my own worst critic and all that. But I still say that, even after all these years, I need way more practice inking and colouring before I can honestly say I did a good job.
It definitely has a bit of a different feel than the finished version and is very good, with a charm all it's own but damn, the finished version was quite remarkable in it's own right as to how effectively it portrayed the character. Even though it's the same image, it still feels a bit like comparing apples to oranges. I can't decide which one I like better. I just love 'em both!
