I was not calling you a misogynist, in any way, shape or form. You don't get to frame it that way. I will not be black to your steadfast white here.<br /><br />I was, however, suggesting that your insinuation of a specific motive on the part of someone withdrawing from a pledge was not only unfair given the lack of specific information you possessed about that particular case, it was wholly unnecessary. <br /><br />Yes, you read too much into it. And no anecdote about women buying things for their significant others changes that - even those were legitimate purchases, despite being for males. Nothing about that story says women are looking to prank your kickstarter. "Women don't buy from Dave" is not the same argument as "ladyfolk are actively screwing with Dave."<br /><br />I'm not saying you shouldn't think what you choose to think - about life and the world in general, and about the potential rationale of a particular person pulling out of a pledge for some big photocopies of some funnybook pages. Godspeed on all of that.<br /><br />But it is worth considering whether a little restraint might be in order. Frankly, you're a man who has staked out his position. It is not a popular position. And there are repercussions to its lack of popularity. That is the price you pay. But to view the entire world through the prism of those repercussions - and then to make specific, unprovable declarations based upon that worldview in a way that is off-putting to an audience you are theoretically still attempting to serve and maintain - may not be the wisest way to run a railroad.<br /><br />Put another way: when they come to storm your front door, I volunteer to stand watch and tell them to go on home.<br /><br />But I'd ask you consider it may just be the new mailwoman delivering today's post.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837001751311078781.post-71351859047669132782014-05-19T09:36:27.011-05:002014-05-19T09:36:27.011-05:00Another thought-- if you have tone "in the cl...Another thought-- if you have tone "in the clear", i.e. no line work under/atop it, it's comparatively easy work. But as I said before, the only place in the whole 6,000 pages I really anticipate any problems with the tone density would be the skies in Jaka's Story, the really fine (and light) tone with etched clouds. And those happen to be in the clear, so, if need be, they could be replaced, drawing them out with a tablet and then replacing them in Manga Studio. (But that's several steps ahead of where we are right now.)Sean Michael Robinsonhttp://livingtheline.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837001751311078781.post-59058910353194853022014-05-19T08:58:19.670-05:002014-05-19T08:58:19.670-05:00Hey Dave,

And that on pages that they needed to replace the tone, it took upwards of 20 hours.<br /><br />If you have a tablet and a good hand, you can "draw" (carve?) out tone from inside/around hatching underneath. Total pain to do, and I'd say not feasible (or necessary) except in the most dire circumstances.<br /><br />As for everything else-- it's a complicated question. I'll give it some more thought and post a more thorough response in a day or two.Sean Michael Robinsonhttp://livingtheline.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837001751311078781.post-20519535217141126382014-05-19T08:42:35.558-05:002014-05-19T08:42:35.558-05:00I've sent an email to Mr. Harvey through the a...I've sent an email to Mr. Harvey through the address listed on his websiteEddiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11831826350149920878noreply@blogger.com
