Description "The bullet they just dug out of the wall is from a handgun. A kill shot like that over that distance from that sort of weapon, you're looking for a crack shot but not just a marksman, his hands musn't have shaken at all so clearly he's acclimatised to violence. He didn't fire until I was in immediate danger so obviously has a strong moral principle. You're looking for someone probably with a history of military service and nerves of steel... Actually, you know what? Ignore me."

I love the effect of the ink running - somehow it reflects the gritty side of his personality

Thanks! After I drew him and put the basic ink on, I thought "Hm, let's make the bottom of his coat all drippy..." After that I got a bit carried away with the drips, decided to make them run all the way down the page, cover his face, drip onto my pajama pants... Then, as if that wasn't enough, I proceeded to splatter ink everywhere. Which made quite a mess all over my laptop and bed and floor... So, just letting the ink run down the page and then splattering it everywhere. I thought the effect might be too much, but I almost like it now.

Definitely not to much! It's wonderful! I love it! Boy, I wish my parents would let me make such a mess when I draw... I'd love to try that sometime, but I'm not sure mom would be to happy about that!
Thanks for telling me, thought!

My mom probably wouldn't be too happy if she saw me doing it... Hey, I cleaned up my floor and somehow managed to get the ink out of my pj's.
