Wow, for an actual comic artist you don't get much exposure, that *diablo2003 gets an obsene amount yet I wrote a long long message about the comic industry and he never replied

actually tornsilinus. I now that this particular question was directed at my dear freind Oshawainker. but since he is a wonderful inker. not a penciler. I'm will take this time to answer your question for you. it is very HARD to break into the industry. since the comic book medium gets smaller every year it's very hard to get noticed. specially if your a penciler. Every one wants to pencil. so the compition is titer. You pretty much have to be like our friend *diablo2003. Mark is an astablished penciler that works for Marvel. But I'm sure he worked very hard to get there. As for the Money I'll be honest with you. It isn't that great. You would really have to Love the medium to put up with page rate. that all I say in that reguard. lets put it this way. I sure anyone who works in the comic feild has a second job to pay the bills.

Wow thank you sooo much this was a huge help, it clarified what I already suspected more than anything. Originally I wanted to be a comic artist and breed dogs to "pay the bills" but I'm not sure now since you've confirmed that it's "very HARD to break into the industry" and I might just do a more solid job that would pay better, I'd quite like to be an architect but I still would love to have some of my comic art published. I'd be happy to just write comic books, do you know how easy that is?

Writing and inking is a little different. I'm not that entirely sure about the writing aspect of things but for inkers it's just as tuff. if not tuffer. Only becuase alot of people are changing there whole approach on that as well. Inkers are being replaced by digital inking. The reason for that is . that it doesn't take as long and in some ways it's cleaner. but I dissagree. I think traditional Inking may take longer but the quality of line weights doesn't suffer. And it makes the work alot more real to look at. But it's like everything else. you just have to work hard at it.

Steve Doomsday was rather well drawn. but he does look a little yellow. Doomsday is grey not johndas.

I can't speak to whether he's met your deadlines or not or how he treats you -- but I can he gave his word to me about things he was going to do on more than one occasion and didn't keep it.
But that's water under the bridge now. I've just received his package today of the artwork, so in the end Steve Sprayson came through after all.

I disagree, I've been with working closely with Steve for the past 8 mounths and by fare he has never steared away from his duties. he has met every deadline and he has put in 110 persent everytime.

What ChadtheH is forgetting to say is that I was sick that weekend and he cant seem to understand that just because somone is sick you shouldn't scrap them from a book that is only payin $320.00 canadian for 32 pages when my average page rate is $50. I don't know what everyone else thinks but most inkers in the industry are worth more than $10 a page. And sorry about the miscomunication Chad you should know not to jump the gun so quickly and be more relaxed with people no just fire them on the spot cause they were sick. I didn't steal your pages. Why would I want that art? Anyways feel free to call me and we will talk about this matter I really think it would be in your best interest.

Well, I agree with the accuracy of some but not all of the things he says here in his response to me. But at any rate, we've apparently worked out an agreement where he is to get my artwork back to me by next week. If it's here, great, I'll let you all know. If not, I'll let you know that too.

This guy is a talented inker but by no means should anyone here do any business with him. When I recently hired him to ink pages for my next book, he not only didn't do the work and didn't show up to deliver the pages but now he refuses to give me back my originals, which is forcing me to redraw them and adding needless time to my project. Don't make the mistake I did by trusting this guy.
