Wow, I love it. That you're able to draw is a great thing, but that your a gifted storyteller is just plain awesome.

I can so hear Janet's voice in that.

See if you can find a film called SURVIVE STYLE 5+ (I know you can get it from Redsundvd.com) - it is very mad and Japanese, and also very awesome. Strangely, the most life-affirming film I've seen all year. Which you wouldn't expect from a film with Vinnie Jones in it.)

Thank you for posting this.

"A regular little melodrama acted out by the ghosts of dead flowers" - I love that, we should make that the title.

thank you for being awesome.

and it is totally a ripped off nabokov line from Ada or Ardor, which was the most boring book of all time except for that one line, which is +++magic.

Do you do the lettering, too? I've been making comics lately, but I'm not so hot at lettering (or drawings, but that's not much of a concern). There must be something I'm missing... And is setting the letter boxes the first thing you do? Sometimes I just paste them over my finished drawing, but I'm guessing that's not how professionals like you do it.

My internet is too slow for these images. They come out like pixelated monsters. Oh well, new internet in a few days.

i do the lettering yah - & you are not missing anything, lettering is a bitch no matter how you slice it.

through process of trial and error it seems like the easiest thing to do is do it at the same time, or at least have a vauge plan in mind of where the words are going to go when you draw the pictures.

if your heart is set on computer lettering, the ultimately least painful option is doing it in illustrator, as you can easily control text and box shapes and sizes, and import your image file as like a template, and then do the letterings right on top of it, and arrange them all to your liking, then delete the template save the eps, then import the eps of the lettering back into photoshop for flattening into internets viewable files.

did that make sense? fear my ultimate hardcore workflow.

hand lettering is funnest ultimately, although possibly i would do anything to not have to mess around with illustrator which i have irrational dislike for, even though it is very good at what it does.

mostly when making comics i kick them and hit them with hammers until they look right.

I've been doing hand lettering on my latest stuff. It's just that my all-caps writing is awful, and I have trouble keeping it all straight and even. I usually have to write it out about five times before I can get it decent - hence the pasting method.

I might try scanning a few frames and then adding text, just to see what it looks like. And because of the context of the story It might even work better than handwriting. I just have a fondness for handwriting...

these work really good, sometimes you can get them at art supply places. it is what i use for lettering BW.

you even get to do a fun math problem and everything.

Cool. I think that's what I was missing.

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)

I love it. And I missed your posts.

aw, thanks! ^__^! hoping to be around a bit more consistently in the new year.

That's quite a narrative. I don't know Janet, but the dialogue sounded good. I like how you handled the transitions. Your art style has a nice, breezy feel to it.

Thanks for sharing this.
