Inkmo is my dude

Because of my fervent desire to make this last Scott Pilgrim book even better than all the other ones put together, and because of the tight drawing & releasing schedule, I solicited for an art assistant back in december. So for the past month I’ve been working with Mr John “Inkmo” Kantz (check out his deviantart and webcomic) and I’m pleased to say that it is going extremely well.

With volumes 4 and 5 especially, I just got down to crunch time and couldn’t do as much as I wanted to with the tones. This is usually the last step in the process and is the first thing to get axed when you’re pressed for time, because hey, the comic is drawn, there are drawings, it all makes sense. But having the shading and those extra interesting patterns and stuff can really push things to the limit and that’s what I want!!! I want the limit!!!!!!

So anyway, that’s what John is doing – he’s completely handling the toning for me, and since I ended up with such a freakin’ talented assistant he’s also helping out with a bunch of backgrounds and other stuff. And with his help, the book will be on time! and most importantly it will look totally awesome!

I wish I could show you all the wonderful work he’s doing, but pretty much every panel is a spoiler. Sorry. I don’t want to spoil you. So this whole past is just a big tease.
