Like on the other one, of the guys earlier works...
How acceptable is it for an inker to make changes and improvements on a pencilers works?
I dont think I could ink that other piece line for line with out the overwhelming need to correct things, add things etc, turning the original technically into a mere break down for what I would render as the finnished product.
is this Done in the industry? frowned uppon? shunned?
fired?
how far can an inker take liscense over the pencils?
When working for a publisher (that other page wasn't)an editor is also a consideration...they are after all the person who hands you the check...so I balance what each say and try to find a middle ground.
As far as making things look better and correcting art, that is the inks job to a certain point.... I've done my fair share but one must also consider time & peoples feeling. A 'mistake' to one person might be 'style' to another.
As far as if its done, yes, is it frowned on, mostly by pencils. If a penciler doesn't like how you inked them then they will ask not to use you in the future, same with an editor. An inker is to embellish and tighten and artists lines, not to take advantage and 'lose' the pencilers style over theirs.
Its all a fine dance, as is any art one does.
sounds like a case to case basis.
People pleasing is Not some thing im good at.
I can make it look better and have in the past inking others stuff. But I have stepped on toes doing it.
But you are right.
talk to the penciler and the editor and get thier take.
when in question just follow Thier lines instead and play it safe i guess.
Good advice mate, thanks for the pro perspective.
