Darren,
Checked out your stuff... nice...
I did art like that 16 years ago, inks, marker, color pencils and paints... for me I really hated doing the artwork... every step scared me that somehow I would screw it up and I would have to start over... once in a blue moon I would take out the airbrush, pens, pencils, etc... and do something... but the last time was 8 years ago...
20 x 30 inche examples: click for bigger view
 
Here is a vid example of illustrator inking I wiped up in the last half hour:

G, what are the advantages to inking in illustrator as opposed to photoshop?

Gerry,
All lines are vector...
all art will not degrade as you scale up or down
since you are using most flat colors in your fab-coloring this would be better...
byte for byte the same piece of art done in illustrator and in photoshop is dramatically different in file size...
the Cap image at 8 x 10 photoshop file would be about 20 megs hirez
the same artwork, same size in illustrator would be about 3 megs...
the big difference is when you use the artwork at different sizes...
the photoshop file is good at size-as and smaller
the illustrator file is good at any size... including the side of building...

As I recall, vectors use math hence the scale up and down without any loss of detail.
.jpeg and other lossy files use compression and therefor lose info with every save. .Tif, .bmp and .psd are lossless file saving but you need to remember when dealing with scanned art that you will never be able to 'scale' up your art without the software having to pixelate through guess work. It is at this crucial point that vectors stand out. I find that if you are a traditional artist that the scanning of the artwork needs to be done with it's end format in mind. So if your scanning the art in for a billboard you'll need to scan it in at some mega detailed 9600dpi ;-)
However if you need a portable graphic that doesn't lose anything from one monitor to another, Vector art is the way to go.
Another benifit is that Vector art gives you precise lines. Remember it's all mathematically worked out so every point has it's place mapped.
Where vector art loses out for me is the 'grey-area' that working in the 'real' world gives to the art. those little 'grey' pixels on what you could have sworn was a black line on the page-LOL they don't detract from the art, they breathe life into it! And as I said, so long as you scan it in with the arts final venue in mind, then there's no reason that Vectors should persuade you to change with that as the only reason.
