A couple people have asked, so here's the extremely cursory version of how I get "dots" using GIMP. I'll write this up better when school's out, kids.The way I do it involves creating two palettes, one with the 64 R/B/Y colours as their perfect RGB equivalents (“R” = 100% magenta = blue 255, green 0, red 255; R2B = 25% magenta, 100% cyan = red 191, green 0, blue 255; etc.), and one with my custom colours (which I've generated using the same process as in the first tutorial ) -- both palettes must have all the colours in the same order! When I've finished colouring an image using my custom palette, I copy the colour layer to a new file, ...

Well, I finally took a crack at writing that tutorial I've been talking about for months. The one about colouring in an old-comics style, I mean. Over at my blarg, I've posted the first of what I'm hoping will only be two parts. It doesn't get into halftones at all, so if all you care about is the dots, prepare to be disappointed.Read here: http://laemeur.blogspot.com/2011/02/b2q-comics-colour-tutorial-pt-1.html
