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.
Great App! - 2005/04/17 08:21This is a Kick @$$ app! After downloading the demo I was up until 3:00am playing with all the dials & knobs! I was so impressed I've already bought my copy!
I did have a couple of questions though. When working with the lettering options, the outline count seems to be stuck on three. I can't adjust it either way. Is this a bug or an unimplimented feature? Also the library previews for image files in the finder seem to take a long time to load.
I'm Running a G4 with OS 10.3.9
Other than that, I think this is a very impressive 1.0 version, Great job!
The Finder browser is slow because it's trying to make thumbnails from any images it finds (and some can be very large). We're looking into options for speeding this up - I guess one option is to have a preference where you can turn off Finder image loading and load it on demand...
Re:Great App! - 2005/04/17 12:11The new build did fixed the outline bug, thanks!
For the finder slow down I was thinking that adding a list view like the OS finder has would work.
I've also noticed that it really doesn't seem to remember folders or files that I've visited in a previous session, and reloads everything again. so maybe some way of caching the file previews would help also? I don't know if that is possible.
I really do like the program, though I wish it had come along about 10 years ago!
