Ah, thanks. I think I know what I’m doing wrong, now. I’ll try it out once my computer returns from the land of the Dead.

I know there are a few things that are important to do before the plugin works but I’m not the best person to ask. In my forum there is a thread on flatting and this plug in is discussed quite a bit. Here is the link to the thread. If your question isn’t answered then feel free to ask there. Hope this helps.

I downloaded a flatting plug-in, put it in the folder Photoshop CS. I then went to PS, clicked Filter, BPelt-> Flatten. Nothing happened.
Am I doing something wrong? :(

You don't know how happy I was when I saw the 'making graphic novels' page with all the upcoming tutorials!

I'm glad this is helpful. 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.

First I must say that I really admire your style. 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!!!!

[...] BRUBAKER – I see. Do you have someone flat out your pages before you start? IAN HANNIN – I flat my own pages. [...]

Scheier - Thanks again buddy!

Will - Cripple Peaks is the name of a partially submerged mountain range that this city is built on and around. 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.

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.

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.

Thanks again for your comments!
