After a long hiqtus decided to pick a brush again and try it out on my very first proper conversiln effort. Still very much work in progress, but I like how the sword turned out! Comments and critiques are always welcome.

I like the sword. Drybrush? My experience is that a watered down layer of washed ink over a dry brush can make a very interesting marbled effect.
Your photo will come out better by turning on every light in the house and turning off the flash.
Welcome back to the hobby!
