… Srsly? 8.5X11? That’s kind of…insane? Impressive? Something that begins with ‘i’, in any case. o.o

A very good question, ahdok.

Each page is drawn on ordinary 8 1/2 by 11 printer paper, the actual image area being 7 by 9 1/4 inches (I have not gotten used to pencilling digitally, don’t think I ever will. I’ve been drawing on real paper for… well, a long time.)

The penciled page is scanned, and then inked digitally with Manga Studio EX 4.0., and then colored in PhotoShop, coloring characters and environments on separate layers makes isolating and manipulating “foreground” and “background” elements a lot easier.

I’m wondering when he’s going to start getting groupies within the story. So many opportunities for magician puns.

Out of interest, how big do you draw each physical image? (or do you start digitally?)
