Keep up the good work!

The pages start around 2800 by 4500 pixels (can't remember the exact number off the top of my head).
I divide up all the panels into selections and then Copy them and Paste them as separate, individual images. My computer is too old and junky to be able to draw an entire page all at once.
Since I also use a really old/crappy/worn out art tablet (the surface of it is so polished I can see my reflection in it), it is terribly imprecise when it comes to line work. So once my rough drawings are finished I have to blow the panels up by 200% so I can have the line work look decent. (I shrink 'em back down to regular size ones I'm finished).
One of these days I'll be able to afford an upgrade. My computer is nearly 10 years old and my art tablet is at least 5. It was a cheap "hobbyist" tablet too, not even a high-end one for "serious artists". I like it though.
I like my computer too, even though if the power goes off I can't be sure the old machine'll turn back on again...

I'd probably get overwhelmed if I ever got Photoshop or some top of the line artist tablet (like an Intuous Whatever-or-Other). Maybe one of these days though!
