What kind of screentones do you use in Phantomland? They look so good. I've tried to make some screentones with Photoshop but they totally suck.

Haha well I’m glad you like them, though honestly my way of doing this probably ain’t the smartest

For clothes and other stuff I use a range of solid grays that I run through the grain filter. HOWEVER since it’s a dense cluster of pixels it can come out as a black mess in print unless you really know what you’re doing (1200dpi offset printing and prayers) so I don’t actually recommend this for anyone!

For shading I use this simple pattern. Smart people would use only variations of this, only it’s hard to put two patterns on top of each other without causing the ever-annoying Moiré effect so I’m instead combining this with the grain stuff to get a wider range of shades
