Description As an opportunity to make some more dynamic artwork, I'm currently making a short comic as sort of an introduction to my Starboard video game idea malimarthemage.deviantart.com/…
I'm about halfway finished with the rough pencil sketches and I'm really want to try inking and coloring it traditionally, but I have a nasty feeling that will turn out badly (mostly 'cause my scanner kinda sucks). What do you guys think?

Ooh interesting so far! I like the panel arrangements and the pacing on this one.
As for medium, I would certainly be interested in seeing it done traditionally, but it's definitely hard to tell. If the scan ruins the colors it might not be the best choice. You can always scan in the traditional lines and color digitally like I do? Kind of a best of both worlds thing.

Thanks I'm really happy with how I paced this overall, so I might post the rest of my rough sketches here too. But I also kinda don't want to give away the story all in one go either. They don't have any of the dialogue but still.
Yeah, I thought of that too. I'm going to do some practice colorings first before deciding. If I can't get it to work right I'll just ink the lines traditionally and color them in Photoshop. Right now I'm just refining my pencil sketches.

First I need to refine my pencil sketches, and then ink them. But, yeah, I'm hoping the color will turn out well too

Thanks. What's your opinion about whether I should try coloring it traditionally or just digitally?

Alright. I'll try inking and coloring it traditionally and just do it digitally if that doesn't work.

Misread as "starboard". Technically it is.

What did you misread? Did I spell something wrong?

Why do you blame yourself every time? If I misread something, it's on me.

I was confused about your comment, that's all. I like to make sue everything's correct.

You are too careful, and too nice. Be less careful and less nice.
