the struggle is real... :/
🕑 Added 2019-11-30 12:15:57 +0000 UTCthe struggle has been real this past week.
I've also been looking into other programs to compile my comics with since sometimes Comic Life 3 is buggy or doesn't allow me to create certain effects. It's an amazing program to put comics together, but there are some limitations to that program.
I love Clip Studio Paint since it offers drawing capabilities and other stuff. I believe it is more geared towards manga. I've tried switching my work from Comic Life 3 to Clip Studio and it hasn't been too good. Clip Studio files are outrageously large. Since I'm doing mainly comics in a format of a single panel per page, I can't justify doing comics on Clip Studio. Each page is around 10-20mb while the image rendered is around 3-5mb. So doing at least 80 pages will almost get the file size up to 1gb. Most of the Comic Life 3 files average at 300-500mb so there is a big difference in why I haven't made the jump to Clip Studio yet.
However, I plan to try traditional comic format where each page would have more than one panel. I like that format because you can let your eyes glance quickly over the page, but I also enjoy the single panel page format because you can see the scene much more clearer and larger.
I love using Comic Life 3 because there are comic presets ready. Speech balloons are all there, but I don't like how I don't have much flexibility for certain styles. There's other issues I have with this program, but it's been doing me well with all my past comics so I shouldn't complain too much.
There are pros and cons to each and I'll see what I can do to find the middle ground between these two formats.
Anyways y'all! Rendered some images for Curious Penny which I'll post the WIP pages later. Here is the cover image. Will try to get to the dialogues today. I'm gonna take a quick nap.
Catching some Zzzs now.
