Lettering progress, and new site!

While I'm still waiting on Renzo to send me the cover and the last 11 pages, I've finished the first half of the lettering! Balloon Tales has an excellent tutorial on lettering with Adobe Illustrator. It's bloody hard to draw the balloons nicely by hand, but in Illustrator you can make professional-looking balloons that don't sacrifice that hand-drawn look.



Working through that has also taught me a lot about using Illustrator itself, and will be no end of useful in the future. For now, though, there's more exciting stuff... such as the new existence of Toffsbury.com!

The site's still under construction as I figure out how Wordpress and ComicPress work, and while graphic design choices are being made. There are some character concepts up there right now, and before too long there will be actual comics. Huzzah! At the same time, the shopping around to publishers begins. It's just a matter of those pages coming in...
