I think what sold me most of the digital route was that I could get a lot more feeling of depth with the backgrounds and also the snow itself.<br /><br />Hi Alex~ I actually did the digital version at top the way you mentioned, with scanning in the sheets of tone I had at a high dpi and adding them as layered files and erasing away the highlights before flattening the whole image. Sure thing, I'll make a blog post about applying the digital tones on one of the Midwife pages when I get to that stage.<br /><br />Hi Looka~ the Marquis:Inferno will be on the glossy stock, the same paper as the BPRD tpbs! But no plans for a Guy Davis Action Collection ;)GUY DAVIShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12100062829322800607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9127028717650606019.post-81933861559647467222009-07-13T14:54:52.105-04:002009-07-13T14:54:52.105-04:00I am not sure if this would be the appropriate ven...I am not sure if this would be the appropriate venue for something like this, but I have a question about the tone application (I wish I could just edit my first comment to include that, but I did not think of it until now). Could the zip-a-tone sheets be scanned in at a high resolution and then somehow using masks/layers applied to the digitized artwork? I am not asking because I did not like the result of the digital tone application, I did like it, but I was just wondering....Alex Sheikmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11955043334160546674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9127028717650606019.post-40372653522235874382009-07-13T10:55:21.338-04:002009-07-13T10:55:21.338-04:00Both look great!

I know those have just been released in the Omnibuses, but a "GUY DAVIS ACTION COLLECTION" from Darkhorse in BW paperback with these two stories would be just great!!LOOKAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00572300877413904267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9127028717650606019.post-36680901282934070242009-07-13T04:36:07.593-04:002009-07-13T04:36:07.593-04:00Ah yeah!
I love both the old and the new look. No...Ah yeah! <br />I love both the old and the new look. Normally I'm all go for classic filmtones, but the new/updated version has the same good feel as the first one. <br />It's great that you handled the digital tone-ing with the same care and detail as the film. That's something I really miss with most digitally colored Comics as a reader - the haptic quality of the look. Mr. Stewarts great work excluded for sure. I'm thrilled to see the artwork on the paper - will it be glossy or a uncoated, natural paper?LOOKAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00572300877413904267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9127028717650606019.post-81557308052144825602009-07-13T04:19:52.849-04:002009-07-13T04:19:52.849-04:00Very interesting to see the comparison Guy! I alwa...Very interesting to see the comparison Guy! I always thought the old zip-a-tone added to the artwork in a textural sense and never considered that it would actually make the artwork look dated. Considering the time period of the book ... is a 'dated' look really bad? LOL ya know what I'm saying? :) Either way, I know I'm going to love this stuff. I'm an old school purist just like you who has sworn that I would never use Photoshop in any process for my original artwork, but slowly, it creeps into your system and takes you over!
