BUTTERFLY KICK

Fight for with the one you love.







And the flyer is done so rachelmanija can stop having a heart attack. :) It's part of the package to shop around.

Inked digitally, this time, and in Comic Studio instead of ComicWorks. I'm trying to decide if I've achieved an acceptable imitation of my wonky inking or not - there's a lot of digital inking in manga that I dislike because it makes everything have this same sort of smooth feel that is mechanical and not organic, but OTOH, digital inking cuts out the refined pencilling step because your refined pencils *are* your inks, for the most part. I may do Project Blue Rose digitally and see if it saves time overall.

Yeah, that's my beef about digital inking too. It looks too smooth...takes out the slight roughness that traditionally done lines have that really make them work, I think. I've been trying to eliminate that as much as I can, but alas, there's only so much you can do.

It's interesting though, with some I hear that doing inks digitally takes them -forever-, so they have to do everything manually but with others (ie: me *lol*) doing things digitally makes things so much shorter. Huh. Guess it has to do with technique?

Anyway, I wanna say that you imitated your traditional inking quite well- I didn't notice until you brought attention to it.

Well, with me, refined pencils takes a while because I have a heavy hand and periodically have to stop, scan it in, print it out in blue, and start over so I don't have a page of solid graphite. With digital - ctrl-z and the errant line is gone. So it might be quicker for me, but I won't be able to tell until I do a bunch of pages, since I haven't really inked any serious pages digitally.

Thanks - I think my habit of not closing shapes and ahving to go back and close them and then messing up and ahving to erase and erasing parts of the original line all contribute to it looking like my normal not-smooth line. XD

Thanks. :)
