Finding the right look for the comic

When it comes to illustrating a comic. I figure you have to be really comfortable and confident with your style. Aesthetically, it needs to be consistant. And you can only keep consistency if the visuals tick all the right boxes. For me, it needs to be quick to produce and support the overall tone or theme of the comic. Personally, I have decided to produce the System Earth comic in Photoshop using a Wacom Tablet. I have found a digital brush that really suits my inking process and I think I'm gonna stick with it. Its a different story when it comes to the colouring side of it. I'm going for a gritty textured look because I think it suits this style of inking. Also, its an interesting look. But yeah, I think the colouring still leaves something to be desired. Also, I should have varied the weight of the ink line. It would have emphasized the lightsource and the shadows a lot more.
