I purposely set the layers to 1bit, not 2. This helps make for easy color separations for the screen printing of my images. Setting it to two colors per layer would just clutter things up.

Manga Studio 4 does 32-bit, full color layers now.

You mention in your vid that you are limited to one colour per layer, but that is not so. Manga Studio allows you to set alternate colours for black and white. Black can be red and white can be blue. And if you set transparansy to visible, you can have three colours, though I think that would limit you to one layer. Not sure, colour, to me, is a Photoshop thing.

I actually only discovered Burns recently. My inspiration comes largely from the EC and Harris books of old. I’ve got a 24″ iMac and the Cintiq 20WSX.

Widescreen is great You can put all your palettes to either side and work in the middle.

Hey, Ray — Great work. I can tell you’re a Charles Burns fan like me. What brand and size of monitor are you using? I’m almost done pricing out a new custom built system and it’s my last hold out. I want the best I can afford – around $500 max. I’m hearing some comments about the widescreen being wasted space. Not clear on whether this is a concern or not. Thanks

I had no idea, re: the nature of Coroflot’s name. Thanks for shedding some light on that.

Ray, Iv’e been lurking around your site for a bit and you have some really inspiring work. Thanks for putting this stuff out there to help us all become better designers.

Also, you may already know, but coroflot is the child of the industrial/product design website Core77.com which has been around for over a decade. So the name does have some real world meaning.

Thanks again for what you do.
