Checkered Man sketch

This is a little sketch I did of the Checkered Man in the newly evolving style I use for all my sketchcard work. It's so weird to see him like this...but I kinda like it. Any thoughts?

Also, I just got a Wacom tablet yesterday, so I felt like giving it a whirl. I loosely dropped some color in for the heck of it (out of my standard TOACM three color pallette). It is definitely gonna take some getting used to, but I can see already how much this will change (i.e. speed up) the toning/coloring process.

Enjoy!
