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.
PDF image quality - 2008/05/09 04:02I was so impressed with Comic Life that I bought Magiq. But I notice tow major bugs with both programs - which trusting that you will adress these I went ahead and bought the programs.
First with Comic Life Deluxe (mac) --When you export to PDF the page turns up blank. I have tried it with different resolutions but no luck. The program works in everyother aspect, but this is pretty major if you want to export a comic and had it off to a printer.
Next Comic Life Magiq - PDFs export the images at too low of an image compression thereby degrading the image too much to be usable as a printed product. You guys need to make a setting that can either decrease the compression or up the image resolution. I'd love to use this product for creating my final printed book, but I need a PDF that has images that appear in high res.
Fix those major problems and these programs will go from Good to GREAT!
Oh and so you don't think I'm some inexperienced weenie: I have been retouching for 15 years and making comics for almost as long. Plus the machine I am using this on is a Mac Pro with 10 gigs of ram and 1 terabyte of HD space.
Re:PDF image quality - 2008/05/09 06:06In the preferences, there's an option for "New comics filter images at:" By default, it's 72. If you change this to 300, is there any difference in quality?
