Hm- I don't know. We've got to ask Bob. I think I'm going to edit this so that we all remember to post questions and such in the comments section. That's ok, though.

Unfortunately not, Steve. Setting these contests up disqualifies both Mark and I from a chance of a win. Besides, I'm working around commissions, the books, and some charity pieces. go to it!! And invite all of your MySpace friends and ComicSpace friends!

("Tony H.":18h8p19h)
-FULLY PENCIL your cover
-INK your cover


Are these two steps compulsory? My work-flow for producing an illustration usually goes:
-Create thumbnail layouts - as many as it takes until I'm happy
-Scan final thumbnail, enlarge, and neaten up in photoshop
-Digital paint over layout in photoshop

I would still be able to post progress pics, and I think it would be quite interesting to see different ways of working from people.

If that's the way you work, please show the best examples of it and include an explanation of what you've done. If, for example, you digitally ink, then explain it. For example, enlarged and cleaned up in Phototoshop, I digitally ink in Photoshop. You get the idea.
