Re: Color Vs. B & W
Agreed! I’ve always traditionally worked in BW and it is hard now that I have a colorist to look at it from a lense of “how will they be able to color this?”

Re: Color Vs. B & W
I've seen so much good Manga in BW. I think BW works really well for Manga!

Re: Color Vs. B & W
That’s a good point. My issue is that when I’m trying to learn to color I can only think I would rather be drawing!

Re: Color Vs. B & W
Didn’t consider print costs. It definitely takes longer to finish the pages! I need to learn to use line weights more effectively to give my black and white work more depth

Re: Color Vs. B & W
I’ve tried coloring and it’s not for me.  My buddy is good at it, but when I try to do it I just think how I’d rather be drawing!

Color Vs. B & W
What are your thoughts on color comics vs. black and white?  My comic has both black and white in chapter 1 and color starting in chapter 2.  I grew up reading Frank Miller and fell in love with black and white comics so I always envisioned my comic in black and white, but now that my life long buddy is putting excellent color to it, I have changed my mind and I think the color pages are much better.  Just curious what the consensus is amongst the community.

Art by me, colors by my lifelong buddy Jerry Lucas!

Mercury Virus Chapter 1 parts 1-4 now available!
Hello everyone,
Parts 1-4 of the first chapter of this story are now up and available to read for free.  The first couple releases are a bit rough on art as I had newly returned to comic art after about a decade of hiatus.  I plan to continue frequent releases until I have caught up with my most recent pages on other sites.  After that I will upload a release a month or so.
Please check it out if you have time and give me some feedback!  Honest feedback good or bad is best!
