Inking Considerations
Idle Spirits is coming this Friday! Yes, on Halloween! At long last! How many exclamation points can I use!?
( Some rambling about inking, and pretty pictures. )

Scanner
Mustek Scan Express A3 1200 Pro USB Large Format Scanner
I think this is the one I'm going to get. It's huge, not too pricey, and it seems to be popular with comic artists. I am a little skittish about how it'll work on my computer, since a few reviewers said they had problems with it on their Macs, but others said it worked fine as long as you install the TWAIN driver (which is included with it) and use a TWAIN-enabled program (which GIMP is, and I have). And I like to think myself computer-savvy enough to force it to work :P

It's Always Something
Yeah, baby. Look at this quality scan! 600dpi, black and white. Never had a jagged lines like this before, and they don't go away when I resize. I'm going to have to mess with the scanner this weekend, but I think it might be time to get another one. Um, yay? I'll have to use my mom's until then, and rescan the pages of Kindred Spirits posted so far.
