The font isn't supposed to draw too much attention to itself. Ale & Wenches would certainly be fun for captions, though. For the sake of comparison, I have lettered the same page in Ale & Wenches; by all means let me know what you think :-).<br /><br />Coloured comics simply sell better than black and white. But for a self-publisher they are also much more expensive ($8.51 instead of $4.09 per book for TDH's 120 manga format pages). On the web, of course, it makes no difference, and I do think that colour will appeal more. But 1) I have to be able to make it look nice enough, and 2) I have to be able to do it within a reasonable timeframe...ampersandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08992284787639430437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-846397398621701622.post-22223419729583762242010-04-12T11:53:34.106+02:002010-04-12T11:53:34.106+02:00@ Cecilia: Hee hee!

I'm curious to see the result!<br /><br />As for colouring, digital colour has the advantage that you also get to keep your inked pages. It's easy to have two versions. BUT digitally colouring an entire comic is SO not easy if you want it to look a little bit nice... I would need to learn a great deal in order to manage it.ampersandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08992284787639430437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-846397398621701622.post-10512583731053170492010-04-12T10:03:46.503+02:002010-04-12T10:03:46.503+02:00I like the font you chose!

I hope you'll like it too, the font I've chosen for the Boar (Rehr for dialogues and Eager Naturalist for Richard's thoughts). <br />As for the coloured page, it is nice indeed, but as I've already said, the b/w version is already perfecly fine for me.Ceciliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15203553617274203523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-846397398621701622.post-71207522134781307432010-04-12T08:23:00.477+02:002010-04-12T08:23:00.477+02:00Oh, forgot to mention: you can find many free font...Oh, forgot to mention: you can find many free fonts also on http://www.dafont.comWimmmmmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09490307170938368141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-846397398621701622.post-26546331811888210682010-04-12T08:21:24.379+02:002010-04-12T08:21:24.379+02:00I like both "progressions"!
Coloring ma...I like both "progressions"!<br /><br />Coloring makes me wanna read further - in color :-)<br /><br />The font indeed makes text much easier to read. <br />It's not such an interesting font however... <br />Would an "Ale & Wencher" font be over the top — or could that aid to the medieval atmosphere?Wimmmmmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09490307170938368141noreply@blogger.com
