Fear Agent 4
I am in the midst of inking on Fear Agent 4, which will be my last work on the series, though I do plan on doing a back-up story for Rick. I figure I'd show some more of my process.
Tony Moore posts his layouts for me, which I print out comic size in non-photo blue on comic board.
Next i hit the layout with the pencil if needed to tighten things up
hello mike. gretings from mexico im fan of your work and is great discover you had a blog. i have a question did you convert in photoshop the lay out to non reproduce blue? which is exactly the non reproduction blue? did you have a percent numbers or did you doit to the eye? saludos www.alebrije-online.com www.fotolog.com/cuadrilatero
Alebrije, Yes I converted the layout to blue in photoshop using the duotone setting, and there I already have the blue preset.
The rgb sliders are set to R: 174 G:267 B: 247 to make the blue. Again this is based on what my printer an Epson 1200 will give me. Sometimes depending on the darkness of the pencils i adjust the lightness, or the contrast to lighten the blue so it won't print so dark.
Hey Mike, I just wanted to say I always enjoy seeing your "process" whether it be here or in Draw! magazine. I always learn something from them. Keep up the great work!

My ISP haD A SERVER ISSUE IT SHOULD BE FIXED SHORTLY
Wow. I love seeing the process broken down like this. Really great work. Thanks for sharing your secrets. YOu have no idea how much it helps.
Thanks, I am always happy to share and teach, I think that's especially important in the 'craft" end of comics.
