Thanks for the compliment. Art Spiegelman (Maus) is one of my influences, as is the artist Javier Mariscal. I don't profess to be as talented as them, however!

Hey! I didn't see this new feature and I rarely visit my control panel. Cool! Glad you are reading the comic. I'm using Photoshop and a Cintiq tablet for the coloring. I scan in my sketches, then ink on a separate layer. I do the coloring underneath the ink layer with the inks set on "multiply." I want to improve my inking technique and general layout skills first then I figure I'll tackle the color. This is my first comic so I'm kind of making it up as I go along, but I hope my artwork will improve quickly, because I have a great story to tell!

PS, any speed tips are much appreciated!
