You should try working with a quill and ink well. Its a new angle.

Well if you get a little cash you might wanna try a few others out there if you can. Some have got to be better then microns :D

Tawny isn't pregnant, is she?

Also: I spy with my little eye, a John Hughes ref!

Haha... I was going to have Wac suspect that and freak out, but I chose a different direction. It'd be kinda hard for her to be preggers at the moment.

Pancakes and beer?!

I think so!

You know, it is really cool to see how your whole comic is build up, is very interesting! And yeah, I saw your Journal Post too, been through the same problems with a pen brand I used for inking my stuff with, is so bloody annoying when they totally stop doing these things.

By the way, your (new?) icon looks so awsome!

Have you considered Tria markers? Over here, in the UK, almost every artist I know swears by them!

Would "rapidograph" style technical pens be of any use to you?

Looking into that now, since they stock them in my local Staples. I have a Speedball B5 point that I'm also testing, but the ink I have is crap, and Staples doesn't have bottled ink. Ordering ink online will cost about the same as getting a Rapidograph (which comes with ink).

I have a set of rapidograph pens in it's original box, practically unused. I bough them almost 20 years ago and it cost me $90 back then.

I got them because that was what I used for drawing in my country. But once I got here I found much better tools and I never really used the pens. I think two of them had ink and the others weren't even used at all. So they have been sitting in a drawer all this time.

I tried to sell them on Ebay without much success. So if a good artist can put them to use I would send them to him for free (minus shipping)

But I don't have the ink either. It dried up during the first decade or so...

Light box! Use a light box to ink, then the pencils aren't a problem. In fact, if you screw up the inks, you can just plop a new sheet of paper over the pencils, and ink em again. I reccomend light boxes. Cheap to make, very useful.

I want to make a computer/art desk that has a built in light table. Because i agree. Light tables are just totally awesome for old school methods.

(And forging your parents signature on pink slips.)

"Tot Boost"? Are they sitting in booster seats? O.o
