I love it, but I think the colored version is the weakest. It loses the boldness of the inks by having the character and bg be so similar tonally.

I disagree, I like seeing color on your work, not to mention the ink. Your pencils are fantastic but I think the color is further evidence of the strength of your style.

Thanks so much for all the kind words.

@Joshu-uh, thank you sir. I agree, but then I'm biased.
