Crash!
Recently I got asked how Jayfri and I actually met. The short answer would be that he posted on Onlinecomics advertising his services and I sent him an email saying who I was and what I wanted. And then he started drawing the comic nearly two years ago.
Now comes the biggest question. What regrets do I have with having him as the artist? Well, let's see. I regret that more people don't read the comic so that they can all see his work. I regret that we don't have a website so that the potential of this comic could go further. I regret that we don't get as many comments as I would like. And finally, I regret that I don't pay him as much and as frequently as I would like to for his work.
Doesn't answer the question intended, I guess, but then again it would. Oh well, I guess I'd better tell you guys what you want to know. No, I don't wish I had another person drawing this. Actually, that's a lie. I wish I could do it myself, but he's the best man for the job. I've never had to wait long for the pages and his style fits the comic perfectly.
Until next time

DAJB: Yeah, I've had that problem as well Kyupol: Nah, that's okay. I'm cool with Jayfri Zig: Yeah, but that's professionally done, I guess. Online we can do it all ourselves

It's nice to make comics with other people :). In Europe, comic creation is almost always groupwork: you have the scriptwriter, the guy who does the lining, the guy who does the coloring, the guy who does the inking... And the lettering. Although it's not always going to that extreme, it's quite usual to have at least two different people working together, one for the script and one for the artwork. Keep up with the good work.

Finding the right artist (i.e. one whose style fits the story [i]and[/i] who is as committed to the story as you are) is one of the hardest things for a writer ... I know from experience! You two guys seem to work well together. Congrats on finding each other!
