Okay rant over. But you have to admit, we see way too many good drawings ruined because the artist insisted on taking felts to them.

Alright, I can handle some criticism, and your points are valid. But I used felt pens and lined paper because they were all that were available to me at the time. I'm sure anybody, as Keiichi demonstrated, could do a much finer job with Photoshop or something, but I simply didn't have those resources at the time.
