Hi,
Last weeks I drew a lot and I have since yesterday my seven pages ready to be colored on my disk. A big step. All line-art are already scan, clean, with speechbubbles, texts and panels. I took me time to adopt and rethink a new list of technical standards too :
- I split now each episode by 300ppi A4 pages in the source, to ease printing publishing of Pepper&Carrot, and future *.epub format.
- I also use now an open-font named 'Lavi'. With this one, I'll be able to bundle the font in the source zip files.
- I wrote a Linux bash script to help me to convert with a single click my hi-res pages into a single strip for webpublishing, I'll share the script in the comic source and probably on Github soon. ( the script use Calligraconverter and Imagemagick )
- My speechbubbles now keeps dynamic text editing on the Krita source file to ease translations, corrections or fun derivative works.
With all pages split, coloring my pages should be easier for the performances of my computer. That's also allow me to work with more layers. ( previous episode was around 2300x16000px , now I manage 7 pages of around 2500x3500px ).
I'm back to color it :) Thanks again for your support !

true , it's a good looking one. I was happy to find it and see it's zipped with GPL license ( <a href="http://www.dafont.com/lavi.font" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://www.dafont.com/lavi.font</a> ).
