Should I submit fully inked or colored artwork?

Randy Stradley (Senior Editor of Dark Horse Comics) gives expert video advice on: How can an artist submit his work to you?; What is the ideal artist portfolio?; Do you prefer reviewing original or photocopies? and more...

I would rather see just the pencils, or if they are going to show me ink work, have photocopies of the pencils, because not every artist is their own best inker. In fact, most of them aren't, and with the way scanning technology has improved in recent years, we actually scan a lot of books directly from the pencils, and are able to reproduce them. In the old days when we had to photograph things, you just couldn't do that. If it wasn't dark enough, you needed to have the books inked. But nowadays, I only have one inker and I have got all the other books that are inter-shot directly from the pencils.
