    This is my second major assignment for Design. All original artwork (despite the DC logo and barcode)
    All components are vector, so I can recreate this to any size I desire.
    Started with an image of my dog and traced over it in flash with the brush tool and wacom tablet. Then I traced over the brush tool with the line tool, filled in the colours, removed the lines and once again used the wacom tablet to create the hatching. Went through a similar process with the background of brick tiles.
    I still have a few blemishes to touch up but otherwise, it's pretty much complete.

    NOTE: This isn't an actual comic, it's just the cover.

    This looks great! I'm amazed by how awesome this looks, I really really like the hatching look you went for.
    What Wacom Tablet do you use?
    I currently have a Wacom Intuos3, and my College uses some other model that I've forgotten.

    I'd buy it.
    My only problem with it is that the 'writtendrawn' part is a little to artsy and not professional enough. I think it would be better to have it say, in a little smaller text, "Written & Drawn by Alex Linou".

    EDIT: Also, there's a weird dot on the right border directly across from the M in FREEDOM.
