(Sorry for the banner at the top. Somebody is posting these over there — which is fine with me, no need to worry, as long as I don’t have to do the work — and I wanted to make sure there was some sort of link back here.)
I like the way this one turned out. The demon’s body language expresses things pretty well to make up for his lack-of-face, I got in a healthy serving of plot, and Our Hero did indeed take a bus to his destination. Progress!

Because:
1. It looks completely different if drawn on paper
2. Much though I hate inking digitally, I hate it even more with actual ink
3. If I scan a line drawing, it always looks worse to me than the same drawing done digitally in the first place
4. Coloring on physical media is even more annoying than coloring digitally
I am considering buying an Apple Pencil to go with my new tablet, but they’re pricey.
Oh, and just to make things worse, the program I have been using for post-drawing composition, Intaglio by Purgatory Design, has been discontinued and the author has disappeared, and newer versions of Mac OS are increasingly incompatible with it. (There was a sub-program to trace line art into vectors, which I was planning to start using, and that no longer works at all, and I haven’t been able to find any alternatives which produce decent results.) And somebody bought up the domain name for the company and put up a garbage WordPress blog which happens to mention intaglios on purpose to attract search engine results, so it’s increasingly difficult to find suggestions. And the only program which seems to do similar stuff without costing an arm and a leg (i.e. the only option which isn’t Adobe, isn’t super-basic, and isn’t designed to do some other task with vector art tacked on as an afterthought) is Inkscape, which absolutely sucks on Mac, it would actually be better if it were implemented as a web page instead, at least open and save dialog boxes would be native.
