Just so you know, I am working on a big coloring series of tutorials right now. I'll try to post the first one in a week or two if all goes well. I’m glad this is helpful.

And your comic is great, I really love it. So I've been reading many webcomics lately and am thinking of making my own, now. I hadn't really thought of what that would imply, so finding this blog was a bonus with the beautiful comic. I've already learned so much from you with flatting and lettering (goodness that was good to know) and even making text bubbles! I almost feel silly as how exciting all this is... it's awesome. I don't know if you take tutorial requests, but I'd love to see how you create/use textures and some tips on how you make those amazing lighting effects on your panels, it would totally be the best!!!!

Sonja's lighthouse is there to keep ships and oil rigs from hitting these rocks that have crippled many sailors in the past. Those are my thoughts anyway. <br /><br />Yeah, the plugin looks neat but I still haven't tried it out. All the pages I've been working on are already flatted and I'm still tweaking them. But when I start to flat a new page I'll definitely try it.<br /><br />The outsourcing thing is very interesting but I'm still trying to explore every option before I just send off my files across the world. I'll explain what I know though.<br /><br />Thanks again for your comments! Scheier – Thanks again buddy!

Why is it called cripple peaks, or do we have to wait to find out? Also the Project Waldo flatting tutorial is most appreciated. I never even thought someone would make a plug-in for it. <br /><br />Can't wait to find out about these Japanese Freelancers too.<br /><br />Will Thats some great art right there, I love sign.

It's always super encouraging to hear that someone has gotten something useful from my work or blog. Making a GN is a big challenge but at the end of the day when we can hold that book in our hands it's all going to be worth it. Plus I'm a believer that it's our personal work that really opens doors in life. Not to mention being able to say what we really want to say to others.<br /><br />I looked into your link but had no luck. It just says it doesn't exist. I'm very interested in seeing what your doing so please get back to me on this when it's fixed! Thanks again for stopping by. Erich – Thank you for your comment and compliments on my work.
