I'll start using them when I color the next scene (whose script I have roughly nailed down, yaaay.)
I have, like, a whole 24 marker wallet just for my skin tones - granted I have a bit more skin colour variation than your honky whitebread cracker town (sorry I seem to have become a 70s blaxploitation movie character) - but anyway in basic flat/shading pairs I use E000/E01 E00/E02 YR000/YR01 R000/R11 for my white characters, the R000 combo is good for that pale pink skin.

Stumpy Cuddly Style!!!

Ah, anatomy, the bane of all artists...
I've been trying much harder on my limb thickness, and seem to be doing a little better, but I'm sure I'll have a plethora of new issues by the time the next WAY comes around (about six months I guess?)... *groan*
Ooh this weekend's update will make 30 chapters for FT...YAY!!!
Also I'm 21 pages on the comic (post crappy b&w version)
