The finished version is floating around here somewhere - the client ended up disappearing on me, so I never made it a priority to post. I did redo the thumb.

The people at eFrontier were not very responsive, but they did finally respond. They can't help, and the Japanese company whose product Manga Studio EX sprang from will not help either. Damn poor excuses from these folks also. As I posted in another of Ray’s threads… the buck stopped.

However, I'm requesting a contact for the Japanese company that wrote the software originally (e-Frontier just "Americanized" the software for this other company). I'll let you guys know what happens. They're not very pro-customer, these guys, but I'm trying to get some results.

I work with MS a ton and make the program do a lot of things it wasn't intended to. Maybe I can get a workaround for you. You know what, send me a zip of the files (or a location to download them).

I'm trying to see if these guys will simply take my files and convert them for me, since they will not acknowledge I purchased their software (I even registered it) and I'm not trying to pull anything funny. I'd sure hate to redo those drawings... lots of time would be wasted.

It looks like I can't open the files I created using the demo version with my paid version of Manga Studio EX. Major, major bummer (after I spent 4 days creating some cool illustrations)... I was upset enough to write to eFrontier to see if they can help out on this... Grrr! Ray, I found one major problem with Manga Studio EX.

Can’t wait to see the shading in Part II.

The pencil and ink functions are second to none! Very fast and responsive. I think I'm going to buy this now... The only real problem (at least until I follow a tutorial, or read some kind of manual) are those horrific palettes. Back to screen clutter, a la Painter. Oh, well, guess you can't have everything. ;) I downloaded and tried out Manga Studio… you’re right! The pencil and ink functions are second to none! Very fast and responsive.

I got used to Manga Studio's speed and stability pretty quickly, though. You can create a perfectly adequate inking brush in Painter, though. I used to ink solely in Painter.

The hand has a Dynamic Hands look to it. Very nice indeed, and I loved the music. Been awhile since I have listened to GSYBE. Have to break open the vinyl today. Cool video!

I have a Mac and generally prefer to use it, but there's no Universal Binary till version 4.0. It's out in Japan for Windows, but not here and not for Mac - yet. Gah. If you download the demo from eFrontier, make sure to turn IN, OUT, and CORRECTION way off. They butcher lines, sterilizing them terribly. It’s Manga Studio EX 3.0.
