Thanks Nik and LR. Smile

I think I'll continue to play around with the illustrations until I find something that DF and I both like. Laughing

LR, I don't do these in Paint, I actually print out a blank copy of the comic, pencil sketch the fish in, go over the sketch with marker, then scan it back into the computer and colour it in Photoshop. Smile

It doesn't take as long as it sounds, and I like the effect.

Thanks again!

oh wow, I thought you had to draw it and I was thinking how hard it must be - but yeah a scanner really helps that's great Wink

quite frankly, this is impossible in paint due to limitations with the bitmap format. the resolution is just way too low.

It's nice to see that the comic hasn't died. The new style is nice, it adds a flair which is unique to the new artist.
