Cranium Comics has recently launched their first four color comic, Brawn #1.
"I used Comic Life on my Mac exclusively to lay out the storyboards, then later when I created and colored all 24 pages of the issue," recounted Anthony Rezendes, the owner of Cranium Comics and co-creator of Brawn.
The comic 'Brawn' focuses on a dockworker named Sam Ross who was reborn as the hero "Brawn" after he was nearly killed in a drunk driving accident.
"Being an illustrator, it saved me quite a bit of time from having to lay all the text bubbles out manually. It made the process of actually creating the comic that much more enjoyable," Mr. Rezendes added.
We think this comic is great! So check out 'Brawn' on the Cranium Comics site or read the first 5 pages on our Comic Life gallery.
This 1.3.5 update changes where default temp files are saved, to reflect the recommended guidelines; resolving some issues affecting some schools. This update also includes several other fixes.
This is a free update for all users and can be downloaded from our Downloads page.
Drop shadows on elements? - 2008/05/16 08:00In the past, I've been able to apply drop shadows to elements (e.g. circles) in Skitch. But it's been a while; I don't really remember how I used to do it; and after searching exhaustively, I can't see how to do it now.
Was this a feature that was dropped? Or am I missing something obvious (always a strong possibility)?
Re:Drop shadows on elements? - 2008/05/30 12:07Under the "Image" menu, choose "Add shadow to image". That adds a drop shadow to the entire image.
Rob (and I) want to add drop shadows to added elements, for example lines and circles.
Arrows have already have small drop shadows, so it seems odd not be able to have a circle without a drop shadow. Or maybe I just haven't figured out how to add one.
Re:Drop shadows on elements? - 2008/05/31 02:15Ah, I see, I don't think this was in the app, but I don't have an old build to check with. I know it can't be done now and I believe I sent it as a feature request through the app awhile back.
