Hi, this comparison was done mostly by Encephelartos, who doesn't have a scanner.
I added the Eternal Brown sample at the bottom. Looks very similar to Grizzly; I thought they were quite different, although I've found Eternal Brown to look different depending on the pen and paper used.

I should probably
link to this old thread where someone posted another scan of Grizzly.
Below is the picture it contained.

I like the second and fourth Grizzly samples -- and your handwriting!

Barely any of this is my handwriting. I scanned this from something Encephelartos wrote and sent me. The second picture is hijacked from someone else's thread.
I don't have grizzly. I thought about getting it, because Nathan really doesn't make many bulletproof browns (what's with all the magentas? I thought he was trying to save the world from ballpoint pens? He'd do it a lot better with more diverse bulletproof blues and browns). But I bet that some yellow mixed with Eternal Brown would do it.
That's the nice thing about Eternal Brown -- it's a pretty neutral color, so you can use it for mixing and tint it to get the brown you have always been dreaming of. But seriously, only crazy people like me and Viseguy do stuff like that. The world needs more as-is bulletproof browns!!!
