Edit: i've got two more pages and i changed around the first a little bit. On the third page i was trying to make it a bit confusing so the reader would want to know what's going on, but i think i made it too unclear:/ Should i make page 3 a splash of the guy holding the paper?

Is that real screen tone, or digital?

It looks really awesome, by the way. Especially that second panel.

It's completely digital, i don't have a clue where to even buy real ones xP I only used 3 tones for the whole thing oddly enough (brightness/contrast tweaking everywhere)

And thank you, i liked that panel too :)

Looks quite good on screen, the real test would be the print I guess.

It's hard to tell that it's a screentone, I can't see much difference between what you've done and more simple solid coloring (with perhaps a more painterly brush). It's not a criticism, it looks nice. But I wouldn't have known it was a screentone if you hadn't said. Maybe that was the intention? I'm used to the screentones being much more obvious.

The screentone patterns are more obvious in the original size, it looks really blended together now that it's downsized. But yeah i did want them to not be so clean cut like most manga tones. Thanks for the feedback :)

The page looks fantastic.:)

On the third panel in particular you can just about notice a faint check pattern appearing - if you made the dots bigger this would most likely go away; it's trial and error with dotsize, depending on what size you want the finished page to be. I had this problem with a recent fanzine thing I did, but you're screens are so subtle here, you almost might a well just colour it with solid greys!

Where can I buy it?

What's it all about when you sort it out, Ozone?
Are we meant to take more than we give
Or are we meant to be kind?

Thanks a bunch Ironscarf :) I tried to keep the check pattern out of the next two pages, but i think the screentones got even more obscure

----------------------

I put two more pages up :O :O
