Download an image, ink it as best you can, and maybe win some stuff!
I picked out some Arsenic Lullaby illustrations of varying degrees of difficulty and each with different challenges. You can play to your strong suits or try something out of your normal skill set.

I used a brush for every line on these (except boarders) but you can use whatever means you like as long as it is not digital.
Grand prize winner gets 3SBD!
AND a two pages of original art . One that's done
and one penciled but not inked attempt at a page. Y'see, once in a while a page just gets to far into my head and I redo it a bunch of times...making subtle changes that probably didn't really matter.
(my camera kinda sucks at photographing penciled work, so here's a pic and a scan)
1 runner up will also get semi finished original art. Penciled but not fully inked attempt at a page)
All contestants will get a 10.00 off gift certificate to our online store.
A "contestant" is defined as someone putting an honest effort into it and completing a whole illustration ( Don't think your going to just run a sharpie over it for five minutes and get 10.00 off at our store.) you don't have to be great, but you do have to try.
Below are some modified versions of recent work that you can download and print out and ink yourself! Each has been dialed back to non-photo blue so you can attempt to ink over the pre drawn lines just like the pros do!

approach this however you like, but the job of the professional inker it not to wildly change the image when inking by adding his own style. The inks should more or less look like the style they were drawn it. You don't have to do it that way, but you probably won't win if you put your own spin on it. but hey, we're just doing this for fun anyhow, so just have fun.
Some of these lines may seem impossible...but they ain't. I did every line here, free hand, with a brush. You don't have to do it that way...and I really don't even recommend that ( there are a lot of lines here that it would have been smarter to use a pen and straight edge...but I'm stubborn, and also to lazy to go get a straight edge once I'm inking)

...good luck!
