We had a fair amount of response in the poll, so here is the rumored Q&A post! Any questions you have about graphics, ask away and hopefully someone can help you out. Makers can also make a comment and people can ask them questions specifically - I'll set mine up, feel free to follow that example - and I'll link individual makers as well as question threads in the post when I'm around to edit.
The Request Fest is still open until Sunday evening, so get those requests and fills in.

The one that always tells me to try harder with my comics icons. You can give it just as much depth as rl sources even if it's drawn on a page.
