Well, if it’s August, I must be working on a story for Tom Dell’Aringa’s Marooned book. The book in question is the second collection of Marooned stories, currently in development, and the story we wrote for it is called “Thanks for Nothing”. Above is a sneak preview of the inks for one panel. More bulletins as events warrant…
Hey Steve… nice to see you working on something again. You still inking by hand for all of these?
Hi, Jason! Yep, still penciling and inking on paper, then scanning the inks into Photoshop for the coloring. I do modify the inks a little here and there in Photoshop, adding blacks and reversing the ink lines out of them to keep things interesting. That’s stuff that would be really difficult on paper. How about you – you completely digital at this point?
Nah, I wouldn’t say completely. There is still something that just feels right about pen on paper. Although working on the computer is more convenient (undo works wonders
).
