I think Glance sounds cool, but it does sound suited for a supernatural comic haha

I have a so-so plot jotted down, need to start sketching it and finding some 300dpi tones, really wish manga studio ran on vista now(or does it?hmm…)

Yeah, I think I'll post a teaser or two. Thinking of the title, will see what fits once I'm done, got some ideas here too.

I'm doing this cause it gives me a chance of doing something else than usual (my usual shortest scripts are 50-80 pages long, haha). And if this one works out, well, I got a couple more stories I could adapt in the future, perhaps make my own anthology comic then? Who knows :D

As for flattening pages… if you draw on one layer only, you could simply delete the template layer and there you go (otherwise you'll have to make it transparent anyway or cover it up with your artwork entirely).

subcultured, I just sent the pages for my story about an hour and half ago.

Uh… how do I save as a .TIFF? It's not an option under “save as” or “save for web and devices”. (I'm using Photoshop CS3.)

Uhhhhhhhh is anybody wanting to shorten their plot to 5 pages? cuz i might need 7 pages…

go ahead, skull
i increased the page count to 52

Umm… could I then request that my story ends up somewhere before Skullbie's?

I've set up the script with three pageturns/reveals in mind and to achieve that it needs to start on the right side page. A story with an odd number of pages before it will shift that to the left side.

Is there a way to tell if tones will print well/not look like ass-aids? I've made some of my own with the bitmap trick but i dunno how to test them, just print and see?

Inks for page 1 :D

About 4 hours of work. Learning new tools in SAI and figuring things out as I go. Still to be colored and lettered (and consequently making little sense as it's heavily narrated).

Nice. Here's a preview of one of my pages (I blacked out the text here).

I've started on layout sketches. I can't decide what style I want to do the story in though- my normal one, or a more noir-ish pen and ink. Uhg. I think both could work- the former would be more of a marriage between your words and my interpretation, but the latter might be more suited to the tone of the story. Whatcha thing, Sub?

Looking good you two, here's what i've got so far;


I wanna see everyone elses now lol

I'd love to be in as an alternative if I could. I've got a lot of story ideas floating around, so I'm sure I could do a 6 page version of one of them.

Networking and community project?

Second and final b&w preview (might post some color stuff later, once it's in color that is)

shapin my idea still. gonna throw down some layouts on paper tonight. gonna take a walk behind the factories to get some proper insperation, if you never hear from me agin, you'll lknow what happened.

sorry, i was gone most of the weekend

Word!

nice giys! looks like this's gonna be real diverse! first page as of last night.
bout to get back on the horse now.

awesome, pit!

So how many pages has everyone got? I just…finished up page 2 >.< *slow*

1 page, but its compacted

pages 1-6 all done inking, attempting to color them in a way that enhances them and doesn't ruin/obscure lineart …and so far failing miserably. But I have few more ideas to test And still have to letter, so hopefully only few more days to go.

Finished all the pages and sent them.

…Wow, I'm smart. XD I initially saved the first page as a .TTF instead of a .TIFF. As you can imagine, didn't quite work right.

Anyway, pages one to three of yet another idea finished… and I swear I'll stick with this one, not like the last three. *sheepish* But yeah, this thing is bizarre. It's like the Sandman crossed with creepypasta crossed with a lot of amateur typography. I like it, though. Should have it finished and sent in the next few days.

here's mine in grayscale

Wow. How do you do it? I have trouble with Painter as I'm not used to it.

Gah, I hate flatting. Finishing coloring tomorrow (hopefully).
