Thanks man, yeah i have been considering drawing on the frames too, but always get worried of smearing the ink and making a mess out of the page, so i never know if i should do the borders first or last, and i end just avoiding them.

Sorry for the late reply, yes i draw directly with a 005 pen, trying to control the ink from spreading is kind of difficult some times so i use this page as cover, the page was originally just going to be blank, and it ended with this on it...

As for inspiration, i can't really say much, most if not all of my drawings are improvised, some times i choose a theme and see where i take it, but that's pretty much it, it is once i finish that i get to notice what may have influenced the drawings (which can be a lot of things), mostly by resemblance but it is not a conscious process, for example after i finished the 7 headed dog millipede, i felt like drawing something water related, so i looked at some pictures of corals and sea anemones, and this was the end result, however that was actually a rare thing for me to do.

Now that you said it, he does look like Akamaru, noticing just now, but what i did notice before was that the bottom one was inspired by Dewgong from pokemon, just that this version has 3 horns and a great smile.
