"The tragedy is that pencil drawings never look quite as good once they've been civilized and transferred in ink onto the blank strip" Berke Breathed

Anybody using pencil for finished webcomic art? I was thinking the web might be ideal for pencil art, since the quality of printing isn't an issue.

You could try the Seeking Comics Artists/Writers forum. I suppose it would help if you had some stories you didn't mind putting online, so that you could link to them as samples of your work. Is there any chance you could try drawing them yourself? The "Writing up to the level..." thread's got some ...

Out of interest, was it drawn in the Flash program?

Some of the infrequent updaters have update-alert e-mailing lists. Maybe you could try that.

I got a scanner with a CD with a bunch of software, including a program called ArcSoft PhotoBase. I am not sure if this program is also available for PC (since I am running on a Mac), but I really like it. yeah I'm pretty sure that it's available for PC because I think I used it once on a library c...

Thanks, guys. You're lifesavers.

Thanks. That leaves me feeling easier about it. I know of a likely publisher, but they don't have any resolution advice on their website.

I'm wondering what's the minimum resolution you can get away with working at on a comic if you hope to bring it out in book form. Could you get by at 450 pixels an inch in greyscale? 600 per inch would be ideal, but I don't think I can manage that without adding more memory, and I'd rather avoid the...

Caroline Leaf really is amazing. Her sand and paint-on-glass films zoom in and out, shift "camera angles" as if flying, dissolve between scenes, all by shifting the material on the glass stage. They're well worth seeing.

What if he'd been hammering on a typewriter...? Good idea! But the copyeditor's going to charge you a mint.

"Anonymous" above is me. Sorry.

Just to show the British aren't totally burned out: The Bohemials by James Roberts Alas, JR's a full-time student and his studies are forcing him to drop the strip indefinitely, but what he's done so far is funny and moody and beautiful. The earlier archives are in zipped form, but I find them well ...

Two great comics there already.

Update: TKD's Manifestations is coming back with a new artist.

You want something done... TKD's still drawing Newshounds himself, and it's getting pretty interesting.

The Heartbucketeers and the Starbucketeers are going to have a row over searching the Skullbucket for Mittens of Mass Destruction.

Here in the UK they showed it on public terrestrial television this Christmas. I think it might have been in the cinemas here earlier this year but I can't remember for certain. It's pretty early for a new film to reach the non-subscription small screen, in any case. I just hope that doesn't imply c...

In less than two weeks it will be gone. Unless...

If any of you like it, tell folks. Please. It's a worthwhile cause.

I'm on to it.

Unless you choose McGonagall.

That was a wonderful opening. The Paradise Lost quote was absolutely right for it.

i wonder if there is some way of having a reader browse the entire online comic but not actually have full access to it until they pay the micropayment.... Maybe if there was a system that allowed you a free view of, say, five pages from anywhere in the comic. I've absolutely no idea of whether tha...

Seconded. I think that's all there is to say, really.

My apologies. I've corrected the post.

Being a sloppy J.O. doesn't work either, I find.

I saw it coming.

That's never worked for me.
