Ok, so when I do a piece, I compress it in Photoshop, and then email it off for approval. Generally what I do is then uncompress it and resave it at full quality. The word of note here is "generally". Not this time. I compressed it, saved it then closed Photoshop completely losing the hi-res art quality image that Photoshop stores in its memory. I now have to redraw this completely. The most help I'm going to get is that I can trace over the blurry crappy compressed lines of the older image. >sigh<
It was going to be such a nice and quiet weekend.
So I have to redraw this, three character sketches for Lucy (this is the story of stories and perfect for me, but it's decided it's going to be a manga. At least JAn gets to still write it). I have to do these in manga style. Should be interesting... In the Chinese sense.
I will be announcing a huge art drive on Pulp Faction soon. If any of you are or know a skilled manga artist who is professional and reliable, they could have a huge 160 page Tokyopop graphic novel coming out if they can impress me. Details soon.
In the meantime you can have a looksie at the previously finished and now forever lost and approved new clothed Witchblade (she looks so much better in clothes!).

Queenie Chan is very lovely and approachable, I'm not sure if she'd have the time, but she might be in a good position to recommend a few people for manga illustration http://www.queeniechan.com/
She's also very professional and one of the most intelligently articulate comic creators I've had the pleasure of hanging out with
I have no idea how you manged to save over the original !!
save for web for preview image jase!!
liz - When I get the go ahead, I will definitely be sending Queenie an email. I was blown away by her art and impressed by her interview (on her site).
jel - here's what happened. Save for Web has a size limit. A 600dpi 28.3cmx43cm is WAAAY over that limit. So I shrink it down and then Save for Web. But then i saved it again (at the reduced size) and closed Photoshop.
