This is probably the biggest book I've ever been involved with numbers wise.

The first issue, where most of the art on this page comes from, had a print run of 200,000 copies.

It's also the largest inking job I've ever done at 80+ pages. And though there we a few hiccups in the schedule, when the pace was steady I found that it wasn't to hard to do 2 pages a day minimum, & often I was doing 3 to 4. Bit monotonous but I'd say this is one of the more comfortable things for me to do under a tight deadline.

Method:
-I'd ink the panels broken up and printed onto 8x10 inch squares of card stock.
-I'm not inking the original pencils this way which has the benefit of making it a lot less of a problem when mistakes and accidents happen.
-Then I scan the panels in and use the scan of the pencils as a guide to lay them back out in the proper order.

The first 6 pages shown here were done with a larger brush, my own personal preference in general. The rest show work done with Drawing pens and a fine brush [oo] as requested by the penciler who wanted a more drafted line. The change over occurred in stages between the 15th & 26th pages on book 1.

Art for sale: For those interested all the ordinal inked panels are available for sale.
I'll set up a page fore that eventfully but if you want to make inquiries you can write me here
