Can I bug you to ask what you're doing your ink and paint with? I really like your stroke variance but I've never had luck finding a pen/ink that won't streak on me if I go over it with marker or watercolor except maybe sharpies.
I've also tried inking in Illustrator with a calligraphy brush and smoothing on a wacom but I never end up with the lines I want.

PS: Love your work BTW. ^_^
Digital: Photoshop Cs2 or CS5 + Painttool SAI
Sai creates lines i like, so try it and maybe it is also yout taste.
