This image is stored as a jpg file and is 43kb before uploading. The original Scan, as I recall was taken at extremely high resolution and was over 300mb. After a series of processes the image was reduced to the much smaller size.

The drawing was done with 'Gel Ink" which I am quite fond of. Being a rather new item in the art mediums art done in gel ink hasn't received the credit it deserves. So I will post some of these and hope you like them.

Remember, if you are on my 360 friend list, you can set photos in this album as cell phone wallpapers. And if I am not mistaken, the file size is reduced further upon uploading it. So, you shouldn't have any trouble with these at all..
