The second preview comic came in the mail. It looks FANTASTIC! The quality is great! The only noticeable error I’ve noticed is that some of the speech bubbles are hard to read. They’re easier to read on my big Cintiq, but not so much on a comic book page. I’m going to use my Futurama Adventures comic book to help decide how I wanna enlarge the speech bubbles. The other comics are very easy to read. However, because I wanna be able to fit my Corona story into a 25-page issue, it’s tricky to make the dialogue readable for some panels. Obviously, I can’t have readers squint or put there face so close to the page to read (which I actually did a few times). I circled some examples of what I’m talking about. Other than that, I’m pleased with how it turned out! 🙂
The front cover! The feel of it is great! I chose a glossy print. Perfect choice 🙂I circled the speech bubbles that were hard to read. It’s more readable in this photo since it’s close-up. However, reading it in person is harder.
This is how I enlarged the text for page 3 of “Corona is a Cabrona.” I hope this makes the final comic much easier to read.The speech bubbles for the older comics are perfectly readable. This is a comic I made with a GIANT sketchbook my Nona (grandma) got for me. Because of how big my sketchbook was, the drawings I made were big, too.This is how HUGE my sketchbook was for “Just A Little Longer.” Unlike “Corona is. a Cabrona,” I didn’t make a script for this story. There are some obvious differences here, like Trax’s outfit and Dimwit being as a teenager with braces.It’s so hard to read these circled speech bubbles!! I enlarged them almost right away, because it bugged me too much.I did a little experimentation with the speech bubbles. This time, I gave them a rectangle shape. I really do not want to go back and change all the speech bubbles. However, if you guys think it’s better that way, please lemme know.I often look at this comic to help me figure out how to do certain things when it comes to making comic books. Incase you couldn’t already tell I really like Futurama 🙂
I hope you liked seeing all these sneak peeks at Space Grind: House Havoc 😀
I am a self-taught comic book artist/writer. I have written two comic books so far, to present just a snippet of what goes on in my brain. I love my characters in Space Grind dearly, even though they go through some chaotic stuff...
While not all of the lore is set in stone, please check out my self-published comics 'Space Grind: House Havoc' & 'Space Grind: Robot Takeover!' on Amazon.com
