Really diggin' your sketchbook.
I've noticed that much of your work has a bit of a softness to it, and I am not sure if that is simply from technique, or the reduction in size.
I have been working on edge control, etc. but struggle mightily, and plan on giving this a shot when I have something worthwhile.
Yesterday, Lane Brown posted a tut on his DA page commenting on how he deals with this using the Smart Sharpen filter in PS.

I hope you don't mind, but I went ahead and ran the filter on your latest to show the difference:

Really makes the image POP, in my opinion.
Keep it up man!
