Found this process image from 2015, trying to figure out if there's a good way to do traditional colors with my comics without losing clarity(hard for me). I ended up doing painted backgrounds and digital characters on this one. It was a neat effect, but I haven't used it since.
This was from a Peanuts tribute book to which I contributed an essay, about Schulz's impact on the popular awareness of flying aces & the foreign legion as adv. genres after they'd largely disappeared from the narrative market (@LexFajardoArt & @thegalorian brought me on board)

Today's Charles Schulz's 100th birthday. Peanuts means a lot to me and my family, but there's one factor of his work that I've thought about an awful lot, and which I wrote about in a (comics) essay for a Peanuts tribute book some years back. 1/2
My favorite prequel-era thing was when they had Obi-Wan go full Jedi KNIGHT, armor and all.
A quick thread comparing the ages of the characters in Alexander Dumas's THE THREE MUSKETEERS and the ages of the actors playing them in adaptations: 1/
Tightened pencils!
I got an ipad so that i can work not-at-the-desk sometimes (I've gotten to the point where I almost exclusively do my pencils digitally, so to do anything other than fool around I needed something screeny). First sketch on it that I'm pretty happy with (about ten sketches in):
