You'll note the greys look a bit odd on today's comic. For no particularly good reason I decided to do actual ink-washes instead of doing the greys on the computer as usual. Hooray artistic experimentation! It actually turned out okay...at least it looked good on the page itself. Things didn't turn out quite as well once I scanned it though as my cruddy old scanner can handle black and white fine, but any sort of subtle greyscale it butchers. Sigh. That first picture of Shandy walking in particular got mangled...the original art is really cute.
Hopefully I can figure out some way to scan things properly because it was actually more fun doing the ink-wash stuff than it is doing it in Photoshop, and the results are a lot less sterile.

Ooh I like it :)
Yeah me too. You should try it again!
Her clothing does have a more organic, realistic look to it. I think it turned out well. Know what you mean on the scanner, though, that's an upgrade problem. Don't let it discourage you!
Yeah, I'm thinking of getting a new scanner (mine's about 7 years old), but I'm not sure if scanner technology has really advanced that much...would it be worth it? Not sure.
Looks good!
I'm not sure I like it. But I like the old classic for my own personal reasons vs what it actually looks like
