Here's a few screenshots from the making of "The Rules of Crayons"

(The assembly looks a little rough, but I plan to do this more often so I'll get some more practice)

I'm really surprised that you still assemble the panels and add the dialogue in Photoshop now that you've got Manga Studio 5. I found that once I'd overcome the learning curve for panel-cutting and dialogue folders in MS4 that I felt it really sped up the creation process. When I upgraded to MS5 I was really happy that they seemed to have improved on those tools quite a lot. You no longer have to manually create a dialogue folder to get vector word balloons to join, and they added several more natural/intuitive ways to draw the balloon shapes (you don't use balloons, so it makes sense you wouldn't notice those in particular). I still think they could be better, but at this point I have really only small nitpicks with them in MS5.

It's just personal preference thing. I don't really like to mess with vector word balloons and such (I'd prefer to just hand draw what I can), and photoshop lets me see the different font types before I choose them. Also I find it a little easier to crop and edit file sizes/types on photoshop.
