Attack Of The Dough Zombies!

Just a few more days left!Marrowbones will be released on Monday. Two dollars for 47 pages of ghoulish fun.

A few interesting things about this comic; it's my first all digital comic for one. I did it mainly on Manga Studio and Photoshop but I also used my iPad and the Procreate app. With the iPad I could work on it anywhere. Which was great. I would create an image and import it into Manga Studio. It really made me wish there was a really great comic making app. Procreate is great for drawing but I'd love to see something that formats and creates panels as well. There's no reason not to make comics on the run, really. I thought Wacom's Inkling might be the device for this but apparently it turned out not to be ideal for finished work. It's interesting though, most of the time it's the hardware that's important rather than the software. I wouldn't have been able to do this so easily without my Cintiq.

Another thing is I did it fast. It's a 47 page comic done in about a month. That's pretty fast. But I think it looks as good as anything I've done. I've been talking a lot about developing a strong, fast style. And I feel like I did this here.

OK! More tomorrow!
