Sparko 3 update

6 inked pages! I wish every week could be this damn productive. Proper inking takes a bit longer than the digi ink approach I tried for Sparko 2 (which made everything look gummy and a bit too cartoony), and a fuckload less...... pencill....yyy:) than the high contrast pencil gimmick I used in S1, but the end result is so much clearer and makes me feel a little like some sort of geek rock star.

I also find I need to spend less time toning if I ink properly because most of the shading gets realized in the hatching and texturing.

All in all I'm about halfway with S3. Well, actually more than halfway because I've done all the pencils more or less and 50% of the inks, most of which have been toned already. In other words, I may actually live to finish this monster someday and maybe catch up on all the sleep I missed out on in '09.

G'nite peeps
