Description The first few pages of my story are completed, but I want to get another couple under my belt before posting them up for everyone. This has been a really great learning experience, and I constantly delete/trash drawings in order to create a better product.

I drew up the cover just the other day and it portrays the story that I am drawing so far of a mysterious, dark hero striking from the shadows.

More to come...

Makes for a steller front page man, looks great. Not too fond of the gradient background, and the wall seems abit flat with the one shadow straight across rather than thinking of the shadows left by the bricks and textures of them. But graphically as an image it looks great.

AAAAHHH....it's good!!! I want more.

Did you set the site up yourself, cause I think it would be neat to put Heavy stuff up like that.

No, the website lets you upload your comic and you can choose the template as well for free. The site is based around webcomics. Check it out if you get time.

It looks great man, I really like the cover. Are self publishing this book? I'm working on something right now myself and my brother is about 18 pages into his comic also, best of luck.

Gaston25 In reply to MARR-PHEOS [2008-11-04 23:20:00 +0000 UTC]

I am writing, drawing, inking, and coloring the whole damn thing and posting it up on Smackjeeves.com

Thanks for the kind words!

You're welcome, the character looks great I'm very interested.

What are you using for the word bubbles? Is there any added benifit of doing a web comic vs. an actual published one?

Gaston25 In reply to MARR-PHEOS [2008-11-05 04:09:38 +0000 UTC]

I just photoshop my word bubbles.

The only thing I can think of for a difference between the two is that a webcomic is free to do, and the other would cost money to publish.

MARR-PHEOS In reply to Gaston25 [2008-11-05 13:52:02 +0000 UTC]

ahhh photoshop, those damn bubbles I didn't even think about them until after I was done with some pages.

Do you think that a web comic gets more exposure because it's accessable to more people? Do you retain all your rights on the properties?

Gaston25 In reply to MARR-PHEOS [2008-11-05 15:18:35 +0000 UTC]

You hit as big of a crowd as you advertise for, and if it gains popularity on a website the possibilities are endless. I believe you do retain the rights. If someone went out and copied your work you would have physical proof that your creation was on the internet at this time and date, etc.

Alright, thanks for the info That's an option I had not previously considered whatsoever, and now I'm kind curious about it. If it's at all possible, maybe you can talk about your experience with it through your journal.
