So, this is my first attempt at a real live comic. I’m learning as I go so I’m pretty naive as far as graphics software and web comics in general. Why do I want to make a web comic if I don’t know anything about them? Well, its always been a dream of mine, but I put it away for decades. But computers are making everything so easy nowadays, I figured, no more excuses! So, I wrote my story, designed my characters, and am now in the process of adapting it to graphic novel form, i.e. rewriting it! Holy shit, its a lot of work!!! But I am loving it. The penciling alone took me months. I’ve never inked before, so that was another major hurdle. But once I scanned in my pencils and started working in the computer, I was so pleased with the results from the digital pen, now there’s no stopping me! The coloring was another can of worms I was afraid to open, but again, thanks to some Youtube tutorials, I’m up and running! I’m going for a look that’s somewhere between a classic comic feel and animation cels, which I adore. When I was young, Ralph Bakshi made a screen adaption of The Lord Of The Rings and I was mesmerized by the colors. That was really the first sword and sorcery animation to hit the big screen, unless you count Disney’s Sleeping Beauty and Robin Hood, which is really not the same thing. Anyway, I digress. In January, it will be one year since I put pen to tablet and began drawing the pages and I’m up to page 34 now. I still have a lot to learn, like lettering! =p
