BRAVO!

[Troyminator]

for those who are interested...

the writing is done on any random bit of paper that's nearby at the time

the original illustration is on A4 cartridge paper using a Staedler Norris HB pencil

Inks are with Edding profiliners (0.5, 0.3, 0.1)

erasing is done with an eraser (either a Staedler or a Banner)

then it gets scanned (Packard Bell Diamond 2000+) and flipped and straightened using an Adobe photo program

the colour correction and colouring is done using a Trust graphics tablet and the latest version of Gimp (which I love)

finaly the page composition and lettering (Letraset One Stroke Script) are done in Serif Draw 4

and for those who weren't interested...why the heck did you read all this eh?

The colours show true, rather than the black and white needed, so they have to be cleaned up (this also eliminates any artifacts from the scanning process):



Then I create THREE images of the comic and colour them appropriately:



Finaly the image is lettered and you end up with this:
