Hey man, do you draw your inks out on paper and then scan them in? Or are they done digitally? It looks like there is alot of stepping (not sure what its called) instead of them being smooth lines. If you found a way to rectify this I think it would really improve the comics look overall.

Yeah. I still have a few pages left using that method--then using the tablet.

Hey Ghost--Here is a work in progress using the tablet, Should I be playing with the sharpen/contrast--i think its causing my lines to step?

Also I am learning how to use the traditional comic book color palette . No Gamut artifacts. So much to learn but getting there. :fingers crossed: Any advice or observations would be appreciated.

Hey man, I dont think sharpness is the issue. The lines do look noticeably smoother on the page you did with a tablet. Do you know the dpi (dots per inch) setting you are using for these files? I have a hunch that may be it.

My only observation from your coloring is that your style may benefit from more solid shapes and slightly less airbrushing. War Dogz kindof makes me think of an action animation of sorts, so maybe try a form of cel shading? I did a quick overpaint so you can see what i mean (dont know why it looks so blurry).
