 |  How about 'X-men Again'?
 
 Just re-draw all your issues but with your current level of expertise!
 Don't get me wrong, I love every line of your (and Terry's) original artwork, but it would be mind-blowing to see the improvements.
 
 I'd buy it even if you left in Chris' dialogue.

          I had a pop at the third page. Wasn't terribly happy with what I did on the page. Scanned it in and it looks even more amateurish! Oh, well.

 Inking is a deceptively difficult skill! |

          Peter, the image "blinked" for me, then went totally black.

          It is hard to describe in words what happens to me when I see these spetacular drawings, but i believe THIS sequence of the movie Ratatouille is the best representation of that feeling that I've ever seen.

          So, uhm, what were people complaining about? Forgive a towering immodesty, but that's some of the best drawings I've ever produced!!

 |  —————————————————————————————— Immodesty forgiven, regardless of however towering it may be. Those are some drop-dead gorgeous pages.

 |  Done over several lunchtime breaks on my Cintiq with the
 Clip Paint Studio software...
 Thank you JB for the practice opportunity... It is far
 from perfect, and it really helped me to see my weakness
 in inking. I have a long way to go to improve it but it
 was fun !

          Good work Didier but I still prefer Joe Smith's version. Something Art Adamsish about it.

          You folk who are inking this... Are you enlarging it to 10x15 inches?

          I didn't. I realised that inking at normal letter page dimensions was sub-optimal, but I thought that at 72 dpi it would get pixellated if I enlarged it. Though playing around with it now, I realise that I could have indeed enlarged it and got a much better view of the detail. Doh!

 Also realising I totally misinterpreted the sound effect in the third panel when looking at my non-photo blue printout. Double doh!
