That's fantastic! It really captures an old gothic sensibility, like Gotham by Gaslight. I love the texture of the painting, as well, how it's like it really was inked on paper and not that new shiny paper we use now for comics.

Yeah, I'll always have a preference for this kind of coloring. This was colored on old-fashioned watercolor paper, and that effect is hard to get in PS. I'm still working on a way to combine the two, by making my own watercolor brushes.
