This is Vocal from the Violinist of Hameln manga. Made on 9" by 12" Bristol paper and with Micron and calligraphy pens.

First thing - on stuff I noticed in the picture that could have been improved: Some of the black parts meld into other parts and make them hard to differentiate. The characters on the ball seem placed a bit unevenly and mess up the inside circle. And his hands might be too small?

Second - Let me tell you about Violinist of Hameln. About 140 chapters of stuff, written/drawn in the 1990's, and it can be fun. The only issue that stood out is occasional confusion with setting. While they're in a fantasy world, the characters sometimes mention locations in Europe and Asia and composers from real life (since they place music often), there are some technological aspects such as when Hamel's violin gets "upgraded", and once or twice there was a Gundam Mobile Suit stuck in there. Another thing is that they break the fourth wall a bunch of times, but I'm not sure if that's good or bad.
Otherwise I really, really enjoyed it.
But the anime was terrible.

Anywhooo rant over now enjoy the art.
