Not to make this about Ai but, well, Ai will Never make you feel this way. There's no loss. No missing the uniqueness that is a human artist.
Ai in the arts is a march toward dehumanization. A terrible nothingness.

I'm excited about the new OGN I'm currently writing. The art will be somewhat different than FULL TILT, which is making me even more excited about this new project! Looking to stretch my drawing chops a bit.

If there's one take away from this episode—aside from don't take things too seriously—it's, if you've never had someone ink your work, find someone to ink you. You'll learn a TON.
Let's all appreciate Inkers massive contributions to the artistic process.

DEXTER VINES, SANDRA HOPE, & KARL STORY join me to talk about the true art and value of traditional inking in an age when digital art dominates the medium and how they’ve stayed so employable.

This thread.

Co-signed.

Listen to Chris.

He knows what he's talking about.

And he is ABSOLUTELY correct.
My most strongly held comics opinion (I hesitate to say "opinion," because it's a fact): lettering should be the first finished thing done, not the last. Done after (or along with) roughs and finalized before pencils. Pencils and inking should be done AROUND the lettering.

I'm proud of so many pages of Action Comics 1092 (out this week)- but this scene where the Kents hear that local farms are shutting down and being sold off... landing the Spielbergian feeling of Mark Waid's script and conveying the Kansas community struggle was gratifying.
