Ha! My non-disclosure agreement prevents me from giving any details about whether or not that is the new shield for the 2007 Castle line.Lord Felix wrote:I was just looking at it again, and am I correct in saying that his shield is the new shield for the 2007 Castle line?
100% digital?? Mike can you drop a hint of at what pixel dimension is your master copy for us noobish artist?Rayhawk wrote:100% digital
You don't even do pencils? It's ALL DIGITAL?? Wow.... that's impressive. I thought the comic company I worked for was something because they skipped inks and went straight to digital coloring, but you sir do one better!Fry_slayer wrote:100% digital??

Well I'm not one of these guys who can lay down nice clean pencils right off the bat, my first layouts are always sloppy as Megablocks, scribbly, mis-centered, misproportioned, you name it, I'm screwing it up. It took sheet after sheet of taped-down tracing paper to refine my pencils to anything usable for coloring, and that just took way too much time to be practical for professional work.Fry_slayer wrote:In this case what you see is what you get. 1600x1200 was the original dimensions, since this was made to be a spot illustration, 1/3 page at most, and I just bumped it up a little to fit my destop dimensions. Normally the stuff I do for print is up in the 6000x4000 range, but that takes a lot more time. My computer's pretty fancy, but even it starts to choke on on images that size when the layer count gets too high (some of my professional stuff gets up to 200 layers, because of the details we have to be able to change around easily later. Like the red/blue color switch in this one, for instance).Rayhawk wrote:100% digital?? Mike can you drop a hint of at what pixel dimension is your master copy for us noobish artist?

Thanks for the professional tip. Now all I need to find is some talent, and I am there.Rayhawk wrote:.... I upgraded this year from using a Wacom Intuos2 tablet in Photoshop 7 to an Intuos3 in Photoshop CS2, and it's made a big difference to the overall color and finish quality....
