    glossy paper is fun especially with markers. i bet you got a bunch of it all over your hands.

    What markers were you using? I'm using Copics, and using the colorless blender to mop up the streaks. When I bloe on the surface at the same time, it causes the marker to dry up, and gives the surface the appearance of being printed on. I hope my india ink doesn't puddle.

    A little, but I was careful to work left to right, hence all the blotching and crap.

    I was using some pitt pens, markettes and a combo on the colors with Prismacolors as well as some cheap Crayola Supertip markers.... they were the only ones that had a nice range of skin textures that would work. Are you doing the GAH cards or any other cards for them as well? ...thanks for the tips!

    I love working on that super high gloss paper. I use the stuff they print photos on, because it absorbs the marker pretty fast. Nice work.

    Yeah, I've got to hunker down on those GAH cards as well. I'm on my last two Archie cards (had some other pressing work to do). Hopefully I'll be able to knock out the majority this weekend.

    Waita minute? Did you get an extension? Cause I had to have mine in by the 5th of June? I only ask cause I may try to ask for an extension on the GAH cards. Thanks.

    Psst...

    Hey...do you know what a "GAH" card is? I dunno either, but Bathill wants an extension on his.

    Wait... Be quiet, they might say more in a minute...
    Money can't buy you happiness, but it will pay for the search.
