Pretty good, though there's a bit of banding where your strokes overlapped. Damned if I know how to fix that, though, I tend to stay away from color with traditional media.

Otherwise, it's pretty solid. You might want to try coloring with Photoshop or GIMP, though. Less texture to your fills (unless you put it there by hand) but it's quicker and cheaper than buying markers. Well, GIMP is. Photoshop isn't really "cheaper" than anything.

You can at least lessen the effect of banding with markers by using longer strokes all in the same direction - the length of the entire area.

You can also look into getting some Prismacolor Markers. They're expensive, but work nice at blending and all that.

Or paint digitally, like NK and me.

It took me a while to remember this, but Howard Taylor of Schlock Mercenary fame does some really good marker art. He might be kind enough to give you some pointers.

The guy who does this comic

The artist of Schlock Mercenary (the web comic I've now linked six times because I could) does a lot of marker art, much of which he will sell on ebay for a decent chunk of change. He's very good about making time for people who want to talk to him, so you could probably drop him an email.
