for me my eye gets pretty stuck on squares in crosshatching - I think you could argue that 90 degree cross hatching does follow form but it also constantly arrests the flow of the eye over the form in my opinion...or I guess in my experience would be a better thing to say - making the hatch lines anywhere closer to parallel let’s our eye flow over the form and the lines become more descriptive of the form instead of a graphic element applied to the form.....could be wrong of course - it really does look good!

Thank you for your advice @Asyas_illos, they were very helpful when giving this a second try. Both really helped make things pop.
I changed this up a little. I wanted to challenge myself and try a different style. I wanted to go with something that reflects something unique to me while showing my love for comic books. I tried my own spin by cross hatching the buildup of color instead of in the inks itself. Honestly, I'm not even sure if this works. I tried to keep track of the process but I ended up working on each section so differently.
If anyone has time thoughts on the style or a critique would be super helpful. Has anyone seen a similar style? If so I'd like to compare.
