A warm up for starting volume 2. Left this rough because it's mostly for my own refernence. I really should have finished these before starting volume one... but oh well. Maybe the characters will stay more consistant now. ^_^;
I love these kind of things (and I can now draw your people without having to go through you comic for reference lol) I hope to get a copy of your comic.
I had to keep looking back at my own art to draw them and I know a lot of things are really inconsistent in the first volume (like Xen's patches!) This will help. I won't have the comics until next month. I'm worried I should have ordered more...
You gotta tell me how you self published once I get my comic finished (I thought of maybe doing two stories in one, the Cupid one and the Monster one and have a voting thing in it to see which one people will like the most ) Buuut who knows. I wanna finish this Cupid comic first. <3
The most importaint thing is to figure out where you are getting it printed and their size format FIRST. I wasted an entire month resizing, reformating, and changing the margin width on all fifty pages! Now that I know Ka-Blam's format, volume two should be a lot easyer.
You could do short issues of each with only a chapter or two and see how they sell. Both stories sound interesting. Just go with the one your most excited about first.
Let me know Ka-Blam's format so when I am editing my pages for the text I can fix it up.
I may do the first chapter of both and just see how it goes. I really adore both stories Once I have it all done I will have you read and critique for me (if that's cool)
I find Kablam's format really confussing... The full file size is 7x10.5. The live area is 6.25x9.75. When the age is actually printed it's 6.75x10.25. The live area is what the actual panels need to fit in. You can have things slightly outside the panels as long as they fit in the printed area. The full file size is the size you save them as and they will be cropped. They also have to be TIFF files saved with LZW compression and then put into a Zip file. Hate all the technical stuff!
When you save anything as a TIFF it will automatically ask what type of compression you want to use. I don't really understand what is different about LZW compared to the others, but it's easy enough to choose it. This time I'm actually drawing my comic in that size format and saving it the right way the first time. I think it will go a lot faster!

(also it will be a little over 3 dollars for 20 pages of colored comic
