Ok finally my first Donshi in years so bear with me. Astro promises to find Tamao's older brother after he's reported lost in the South Pacific during an aircraft test flight.

What is a Donshi?

Nice drawing BTW, as always!

Cool. B)

What is a Donshi?

I think he mistyped "Doujin." ^^;

It sounds good. I'm looking forward to your comic, Dan. B)

Some called em Doujin, some Donshi...comics all the same.

Why don't we call it Jindou for coolness!

Dan, If you are going to try a full on Doujin then I think it may be a good idea to look a little more into the PC image software side of it. You are obviously a very skilled cartoonist and I have really liked all your shorts, but for a full out project like this then maybe inking, layout, speech bubbles, fonts, cleaning etc should get a bit more of a look in. At the moment your xlnt pencil to paper skillz are shining great, but the PC side of the images is letting them down.

What software do you use to edit the images once they are scanned in?

EDIT
I am t3h suck with image editing but I thought I would give this one a try.
Please forgive me.

Trying to extract your Line Art = 40mins
Slapping in shoddy Photoshop = 10mins

That's a good idea, too.

Oh I understand the shading and all that, I use Corel 10 and I have some of the Japanese art shades CD-Rom you see at conventions. I'm not intending to just jump in and throw together something totally sloppy, it's not easy doing a single person production an if someone wants to come along and collaberate I'm gain.

I like how the cover redo looks Danny, Awesome!

Just as a tease here's the first two pages not yet totally done. My wife wrote the story for this one. I'd seriously be greatful for a Siskel & Ebert review
