Eventually I'll sort the other pages out. On related news, I've had offer of a colourist for the comic |

Always good to see new fancomics and some nice art from Ben and yourself there Chris.
Just a few tips that might make it look a bit more polished, specifically in regards to the lettering. The spaces between the lines in each balloon is too large and there needs to be more of a gap between the edge of the text and the outer line of the balloon.

Thanks Andy - all the credit for the art must go to Ben as all I did was re-ink it using Manga Studio to make the black bits blacker due to loss of detail caused by shrinking/scanning. Massive thanks for the lettering advise - I originally tried (and failed spectacularly) to replicate your awesome G2 style lettering from part 1, so just had a go at doing something simple just for my own skills development. |

Persevere with Illustrator. www.balloontales.com/tips/Is a good starting point. Richard Starking has a book about comic book lettering that you can usually get for about 6 to 8 quid. Andy |
