So I was working on my new page, doing the lines on flash, then I thought, hmm....I kinda like the pencil. So I made 3 versions of one of the panels. a line w/ mostly b&w, a line w/ more shading, and left one in pencil. the flash ones look more completed but there's something about my pencil I like. What do you think?

really? bah, I'll just make a quick page.
:edit: or I could just save the images as something else. sorry if they load slow, swf doesn't work and these pngs are just huge
I think in the context of a strip, I like #2 the best, and yet, you're right. There's something about the simple pencil version that looks really good.
It might be the gradient quality of the left-hand character's hair...
ok, so it's between 2nd and 3rd. Everyone I've talked to totally agrees with you Corgan. Hmm....maybe I'll put the background in and see if that makes a difference.
I, too, like the shaded flash the best, and the pencil... well, to be honest I don't particulary care for it; it strikes me as "unfinished."
Whereas the first two seem ready to use in a comic, the pencil sketch, to me, looks as if it could use some touching up. Then I think it would be my favorite.

yeah I know, there's extra lines and stuff, I just never really worked on that one because I drew it with the intention of going over it in flash. If I were to use the pencil, I'd most likely go back, darken my pencil, and erase all of the extra sketchiness from it.
Personally, I think nr. 2 is best. Nr. three seems to have pencilaser smudges and looks more like a sketch or an initial drawing than a finished product.
