:D I've seen enough strange Japanese portmanteau words that something like Bigma for Big Marker wouldn't faze me in the least. I only knew it because I own some Microns. XD

I'm not entirely sure where the marker book is at the moment - I havne't looked at it since I rearranged teh room, so it's either on one of the art book shelves or in the suitcase that I last used to go to a con with. Yet another reason I can't scan anything tonight. XD

'Pencils' is more of a slangy version - 'pencil sketch' works just as well, and is probably closer to what they mean. It's us comic artists who tend to go on about the pencils and the inks, instead of the pencil sketch and the inked linework. XD

Wheee! Looking forward to it!
