Mike, I highly recommend giving this tool a try.

Just curious... Has anyone on the board finished inking a complete issue, or everything posted up to a point?----------- 
 
 Matt, I had attempted to ink the original unlettered 20 pages earlier this year. Some family matters complicated life, and I only got through about 13 pages.
  I didn't post them all since I didn't want to clog this thread with MY work, but if people want to see them, I'd be happy to post them!

Scott, I want to see your pages. I wouldn't worry about clogging the thread, so to speak. The whole point of it is to show the pages inked by board members. I personally have no problem with seeing several pages in a row from any one person.

Eric Ladd, I haven't tried using an real pen nib in probably 20 years. I may just give it a try! Or do you mean the nice little cushion there? Where does one find one of those?

Mike, the cushion is just a pencil cushion that you can find at an office supply. Should be easy at the beginning of the school year. I was urging you to give the crow quill a shot. You have experience with it!? Break it out!

Eric, I'm going to try a quill on the next piece I tackle. Meanwhile, here are the mixed bag results of the $5 pack of pens. Full disclosure, I did use a PITT XS in spots because the cheap set didn't have a tip that small. Also, I really should have worked from a blue line rather than just printing the pencils.

Okay, I've optimized the 13 pages I'd inked to approx. 600 X 900px.
 
 Would you all prefer 13 separate posts or one long post with all 13 pages in it?

Scott, when JB posts in the Fan Fic section there are typically 12 posts before it kicks over to another page. I would suggest individually to make sure they don't "split" in the middle or maybe in small groups. But it's up to you.
