Thx for the add, Ness.
Y'know I have to be honest, I don't usually go for the manga style, but YOUR stuff changes my mind. I think you take the style to a whole new level. Beautiful work!

[ Posted by Ness on Apr 6th, 2008 3:17 PM ]... No probs :-) Aw thanks - I think my work is just manga influenced though rather than actual manga style. I just love all kinds of art :-)

Thx for the add. Really great lineart on 'Shrouded'. Are you using Manga Studio for the b/w tones?

[ Posted by Ness on Mar 10th, 2007 9:54 AM ]... No problem - like your sketchy line art - it's very cool. I'm not using Manga Studio at all for Shrouded.. I had got debut and played with it, but still prefer inking by hand - purely cos it's more social (I can talk to people and ink). I also prefer photoshop to tone with as Shrouded is purely in greyscale and therefore doesn't use tones at all. For the first issue I made the tones black and white to fit in with printing processes - but found that for the 2nd issue with different printer I could keep the files greyscale - and it looked kust as I'd intenedd :-) Hope that answers your question :-)

[ Posted by Komikum on Mar 10th, 2007 2:16 PM ]... Yeah I got it now. I only called them 'tones' because of the Manga Studio's own classification - they offer 'tones' and 'computones' to work with :) Seeya.
