Are most recent manga and doujinshi created digitally nowadays (2005), or are the majority still being done with traditional materials?
I'm just curious.
From what I gather (corrections are welcome), tablet users are still in the minority, at least for layouts and foreground art. However, time-consuming things like backgrounds are increasingly being done via 3D modelling (Akamatsu Ken's Mahou Sensei Negima is a good example of this).
Why do you insist that people do one or the other? I'm fairly certain most people use both, where appropriate.
Are there (preferably japanese) artists sites where the author states that the "ink" drawing is done with a tablet? Because, normally it's very obvious when someone is using a tablet -- I'd be interested in seeing a tablet drawing (not CG!) that doesn't look like sketchy, thick-lined crap.

While not manga, the webcomic Count Your Sheep (http://www.countyoursheep.com/) has been drawn using a tablet for a few months now.
Does anyone have an example that's not a shitty webcomic

Wow, way too miss the point. Whatever your opinion may be on the art of this particular comic, it should be clear to anyone that the lineart is clean, smooth and thin, even though it was drawn with a tablet.
Tablet drawings looking sketchy and having thick lines are often a case of the artist not being used to the feeling of a plastic stylus on a plastic surface and/or the scale, no, scales you need to work at with a tablet is different from paper.

Actually, I could tell it was drawn with a tablet. It is not sketchy nor thick-lined, but it is rather stiff.

...define 'stiff'.
The only thing I can think of what could be considered stiff art is 'stiff' in terms of poses and such. But that has more to do with the artist's skill than it does with it being drawn with a tablet. In fact, I don't see how in any way drawing with a tablet would make you draw less dynamic poses.
Therefore, can someone post something drawn with a tablet that is not stiff?
I really would like to see japanese artists, not western.

How about Falcoon?

Well i can't suggest any manga that i know of thats done with tablets... (although i'm guessing Gantz is...) you can always check out PortalGraphics and their OC art (not that idiotic tv show)
Why did you bump a half-year-old thread if you have nothing to say?
