Ya, I get that. Plus the fact you are on a deadline. I don't have that problem. I don't want to see the art die. In comics today everything is done on the computer, even the pencils. When I had my foot in the door at Marvel computers were just starting to do some coloring and mostly for special effects.



A lot of artists are using computers and the art of watercolor, oil and acrylic is fading away and in comics it is even worse. They say it is because of some of the things that you have stated. The work being done today is very pretty and with a learning curve can be mastered by anybody the computer will even do the drawing if you want, but look at the work of the likes of Sal Buscema, or Frank Frazetta and tell be that a computer can match the skill and beauty in every stroke of the brush.



That being said, I like your work and a lot of the others I see, but maybe once in a while break out the brushes and do a piece the old way. And try to teach some one to keep it alive.
