*gasp, pant... fall down*

[crowdog66]

I flatted seven complete pages today, including two Nightmare Pages From Hell and one Nightmare Page that I haven't finished a Nightmare Panel on -- it involves many little watery shapes that I recoiled from instinctively after flatting the first two Nightmare Pages... *sigh, groan, throw in the towel*

I'd hoped to finish true color flats on all the pages I have, and would have, but the two Nightmare Pages made that fucking impossible: too much falling water and too many "sparkles" that had to be thrown into a DIFFERENT color hold than the water. *takes a deep breath* I'm trying to maintain my "the artist is not out to make my job harder" mindset, but damn, pages like that make it incredibly difficult.

That, and I keep picking up mistakes in the line art... including actual notes to correct the art that weren't taken out of the final files...

*sighs again, closes Photoshop*

There's time enough to deal with that tomorrow.

I'd tattle on him and say that he is making your life hell by being a stupid artist and he deserves no doughnut.... *hugs* Seriously... say you'd be able to go faster if *HE* actually finished what he was supposed to before he gave it to you to try and fix. UGH! Luck! :)

I second the motion heartily... I'd be bitching about someone leaving stuff for me to do, which slowed down the process on the job *I* was supposed to do.

Or even try speaking diplimatically with the artist. Perhaps he doesn't realize how difficult his drawings are to follow. If he doesn't play nice, then take away his donut. :)
