RE: What Happens In The Dark | From pencils to finished piece
It's always funny to see how other comic-artists are working. I really like the dress in the last frame. I work digitally and moves between Inkscape where I add the dialogue and then back and forth with the painting app. that way I slowly cut as much text out as possible.
P.S. What is the font you use called?
I believe it's called Unmasked. A lot of the fonts I use for my comics are from Dafont.com , they have a lot of good cartooning fonts. You just have to be careful to make sure the one you like is free to use.
It is quite funky! I bought a font called Comic Pro JY. It was needed so the French and German translators could have all the accents and special letters they needed and my own Danish translation also had to have the ÆØÅ-letters. I only bought it for web use though, and I guess that I will have to buy it for print too when I hopefully gets money enough for printing the album.
I also consider learning hand texting, but that wouldn't help the translators of course.
Yeah, I didn't even think of that. Unfortunately, Dafont font's are missing special characters so it might not be the best bet for those purposes. But that's what you get for free fronts
Yes, I used a free font at first, but @vcelier, the French translator, couldn't use it. I have also considered making my own, but FontForge is a bit complicated and I have so many projects right now.
