Creating Comics At Last

 

 The posters are here,you lucky people.                                                                                                          The books will be here tomorrow.                                                                         ...

  So to continue my technical difficulties My art package decided to go on strike immediately after I'd finished the Print files.This Work stoppage could not be overcome no matter how many times I reinstalled or watched you tube videos. Another 2 days of emailing the manufacturer I managed to fix the problem and put in my old code for the new version of the program and thing worked. for a few hours. So now I've downloaded an even newer version of the program and it's works for now,I hope.  A Proof Reader (my Brother) Read the book and concluded it needed "boxes" to explain some of the stuff that was occurring on the page.Annoyingly for someone who hasn't picked up a comic since they were 12, he had a point (I hate it when that happens). So now I'm tinkering away with expositionary boxes tucked into the corners of certain pages to make certain no one get confused, left behind or pissed off by the book. I wonder what trials shall next week bring?

 I have spent the past few weeks learning to use an art package and trying and construct a print file. So far so infuriating.  Mostly this has involved watching hundreds of 5 year old youtube videos and swearing at my lack of technical skill.Fortunately the dark elder gods have smiled upon the least of there children and by blind luck and stubbornness I seem to have succeeded.A template has been constructed and now it's a simple matter of importing images and we're are ready to go from computer screen to reality. How about that shit?

  Well well well.Who would have thought it? Finally I've reached the end .30 pages done and it feels like I had to carry a mountain on my back to get it to this point. One failed indiegogo, two quitting artist and a partridge in a pear tree. I've already begun the second one,As I'm clearly a glutton for punishment.The cover is done and the first page line work is nearly there.I feel an enormous sense of relief having completed it but on to the next challenge ,creating of the print file and the posting of copies across the world. Wish me luck?

Only two pages remain until the book ,I've struggled and obsessed over for years, is complete
