Well, finally I have taken it off their wall and got it photographed. I apologize for the quality. I'll try to find a larger scanner soon to get a copy that doesn't have the glare. But here it is.
You can also see the original planning sketch here.

Botany
Over a year ago I asked my friends on Facebook to name their favorite flowers and I would create an art piece from their inspiration. The scratchboard and watercolor piece I created just a few weeks later is one of my favorite finished works I've ever done. The problem was that that Christmas I ended up giving it to my parents as a gift before I had had the opportunity to document it.

Computer vs Traditional
So, I have spent all week sitting in front of my computer cleaning up the pages for my comic final (a few sample pages are available in the last post). And I truly never expected it to be this tedius.
Some people complain that computer work is cheating, that its faster and easier than traditional. This is an argument I'm going to have to disagree with.
True that the undo button is something that I take full advantage of and is something not available in drawing and painting, but I have found that the amount of time it takes to make something look really good, to look really clean and not pixelated or computerized can take just as much time as any traditional media.
Penciling this comic took me about five hours per page. Versus pencil and paper this is a bit faster than the average time of ten hours. However, the clean-up process and the refining of line that is the computerized version of inking is not so quick. For me this process takes almost twice as long per page than any form of finishing, painting, inking, anything.
I would like some feedback if anyone reads this. What is your preference of media? Do you find the computer to be faster or slower than traditional medias and where do you like to use it and where do you not?
