Scarz wrote: All the pages are actually inked digitally! The pages are sketched on paper but everything else is done in Photoshop. I hardly do traditional inks anymore. But I think I know what you mean about quality control with black and white scanned images. I ran into the same problem myself when I first started scanning in my inked work. First off, after scanning the image it's important that the image mode is set to Greyscale (or at least you made sure that the image itself is entirely black and white before making adjustments). Eventually, you'll realize that all you need is one or two adjustment tools to get a crisp clean b&w image. In my case I use Levels and Brightness and Contrast only (if you have CS6 or higher, make sure "legacy" is checked for Brightness/Contrast).

No two pages can be adjusted the same way, but they should LOOK similar and have the same result in the end. Hopefully I was helpful, if you need me to explain it a bit more, I wouldn't mind sketching and inking a quick piece and showing a simple step by step guide to getting clean B&W image every time.
Thank you! Yeah, I have been doing my inking traditionally, I'd have to look into getting one of them tablets if I end up wanting to change that. Also, I don't have Photoshop so I use GIMP 2. It seems to be able to do the job just as well though. I was indeed hoping I could somehow adjust every page the same way, but I'll just have to mess around with Levels and Brightness/Contrast more to get it just right. So far I just haven't been able to get my art to look proper crisp and clean. Practice makes perfect, I suppose!

Going to be taking a break from the comic for the weekend and it will continue on Monday! I'm going to draw boobs now.

@TrunksTrevelyan Glad I can help!

I did get a chance to sketch a few things lewd things over the weekend but nothing finished. I mostly focused on Boxer and Girlgeta comic and some of Chinchin and Femku. So you guys might see that mid week or so.

BUUUUUUTTTTTT.... this isn't the thread for that. Let's just continue with the show, shall we?

Nice reference to Bulma's original thought for a wish with the Dragon Balls, Scarz.

I also wanted to make a joke about the strawberry scene in Evolution, but dammit, I can't find a good screencap of it and I'm too lazy to pop in my DVD to make one. Evolution is so badly received that I can't even find select scene pictures. :lol:

I actually had the gif of Chichi eating strawberries saved somewhere but I can't seem to find it.

Almost didn't think I was going to get this one out today considering I'm kind of sick (and it's my birthday no less!) But I pushed through it and finished the inks and dialogue for the page! :D

Thanks! For now, the comic is just here. When I post it up on other sites I'll let people know.

Happy birthday Scarz, hope you get to feeling better soon!

I need to get to putting the DBM pages I've been saving back into the appropriate folders, that way I can start saving these as you put them out too.
