paper size

You can ink at any size you want as long as it's proportional to our final size. Our final book size is 5" by 7.4375", with .125" bleed on the sides, making the size with bleed 5.25" by 7.6875". The 2x and 1.5x sizes listed in the mechanical specs guide are just easy multipliers. If you want to use 1.3x instead, no problem.

Now, if your paper is 7" wide, including bleed, then the height it would need to be to be proportional is 10.25" (which includes bleed). Conversely, if your paper is 10" tall including bleed, then the width of the art should be 6.83" (which includes bleed).

The same kind of calculation should be applied to the safe zone indicated in the guide.

When you scan it in, scan it at 75% (or 76.87%., depending) size so it ends up the correct size in Photoshop, after which any tones you want to use should get added. We use 1200 dpi bitmaps for line art.




wanted to copy it down somewhere...

battle scarred ch.13 when life gives you a lemon

battle scarred ch.13 p.101 by ~myo-nk on deviantART


another manga updated in my deviant art gallery...it almost took whole month! i feel so bad but it's all because of my gov class...

this chapter was very hard to do because i couldn't do it continuously and i lacked of practices.

the next one is gonna be even harder, not in drawing, but in designing. i get to introduce ashton's house and its interior. i literally buried myself in a pile of archetecture magazines.

the process seems so slow everyday!
i get frustrated with my lines, but hopefully, that woudln't bother other ppl as much.

i'll try to finish the next chapter by the end of the year.......b(^^)d

frome dkny perfum ads

a different approach to color. i found it very fun to mix colors that i normally would not use.

the composition, outfit, and basically everything is from dkny perfume ads. i was happy to be able to add a little bit of city on the back.

this was more like a test so i don't not like it but i don't love it. XDD

saw eragon today
