The dimensions are a little different from the previous pages. So, I redesigned the page template. I have to admit, I'm really tempted to leave the pages un-inked, clean sketch only. It prints fairly well and would be a lot quicker. Though if that's the case, I may want to use a softer lead for the areas that are supposed to be black as well as do a bit more clean-up with the eraser.
I'm also sure some people would give me flack over it. Decisions, decisions.
But for now it's late. Night!

You're one of the few artists I know who could actually do that. Your sketches are as impressive as the complete page (as I won't get tired to mention).
Also, it seems "go missing" is a relative term.
Or are they fey joining RCSI? (Dundundun...)
I could go either way on that. The clean sketches ARE just as detailed as the inks, and they look mighty awesome.
However, I feel that the inked versions are a bit more "professional" looking. Just due to the fact that they're smoother and tend to "pop" more from the page.
Of course that wouldn't dissuade me from buying comics and hoarding them, or reading. ;) The story is really awesome and continues to get awesome-er. ^.^
@Hex: Thanks! I really enjoyed working on the page yesterday. I couldn't believe how much fun it was. :D
@CalicoCorsair: Thank you! True, the inks are much slicker. Using a slightly softer lead will help the pencils pop a bit more. I like to use the 2H lead for pencils I plan on inking. It erases cleaner, but is light in the scanner.
Well that makes sense then, especially with the explanation that was just posted on the blog. *nods* :)
