As I've mentioned PLENTY of times already, I'm COMPLETELY new to the world of comics, and as such, I'm really learning everything as I go along. It's been a little bumpy, to be honest.
I've found it very hard to get really nessicary information, For example, finding any solid info in regards to what DPI I should be working, and what scale, to get myself published. It seems that diferent publishers >Might< have different requirements, but it's hard to actually tell, since most of what I've found was hearsay on forums and things.
It was getting pretty frustrating, so finally I decided to take a leap, and just wrote to Nate Simpson, of Nonplayer fame(BUY IT; It's beautiful!) He was Very Aces, and kind enough to write back. Turns out this entire time, I've been working a little too small. So, what does this mean? Well originally I figured it meant I'd just have to redo my line work and lettering, and with luck my colors would be just fine. Turns out instead that I've had to start the entire process over. It's a lot of work to be sure, but this little hiccup has actually proven to be quite a blessing. See, once I started redoing the drawings, I started making some small adjustments, these turned into marked improvements, which have finally evolved into complete redesigns of the ENTIRE pages. I was happy with the layouts before, but I honestly think the redesigns are far better than the old layouts.
Now if I can only get it all done and shipped before my self imposed deadline, THAT'S when I'm going to really be happy.
