22. That's Interesting

Remind me to never do my lines in ink again. Ever.

See, part of my struggle in scanning is that I shade with pencil prior to uploading the image. Sometimes, I accidentally get the shading as dark as the actual lines, and have to take extra steps when it comes time to color–otherwise, the colors will blend into the outline and it'll look all wrong. In a shady attempt to avoid this extra work, I decided to try shading in pencil but outlining in Sharpie.

As it turns out, this didn't help that much. Furthermore, it resulted in thin, noodly lines that look like crap. Further worsening matters is that this comic's a bit late. I'd like to blame it on the amount of coloring involved with this one versus past pages, but honestly, the real culprit here is Persona 4. I can't stop playing it. Best RPG ever.

Well, and I guess my weird work schedule is to blame as well. But it's mostly Persona's fault.

By the waaay, anybody who's anybody should show their support by visiting the comic's official site, www.thousandnines.com.
