Comic - "One Pagers"

I think it did the job ncicely; it looks perfect on my large screen, looks perfect on my iPad in horizontal mode, but appears squished on my iPhone, though the two-page version you linked works well on my iPhone.

There's something different in the way you're inserting images into the forums lately. If I try to quote the post, my gets inserted beside the image about a quarter of the way down the image, there's no insertion arrow.

If I click on this one on my Mac, it opens the image in a new tab, but clicking on it on my iPad or iPhone doesn't do anything.

Looks like it did the job nicely! It shows up "as is" on my monitor and on my iPad screen. Good stuff!

Lately, I've been enjoying taking an old POser or Daz render and playing with into a one page comic since most of my renders are usually a snapshot of some story in my head.

Looks like the start of a great comic! I'd love to see more.

Tremors vibes!

Definitely! For a couple of very long months that was my young daughter's favourite movie, played over and over again in the background while I worked on doing colour flats for comic books.

I goofed the initial upload and lost part of the captain's first speech, it's fixed now. 

My brother and I must have watched that movie 50 times when we were kids! I watched it again a couple years ago and I was surprised I still enjoyed it so much. Oftentimes, when I revisit movies from my childhood, I find they don't really have the appeal they once did. I was pleasantly surprised that Tremors held up so well!

BTW, I think it's awesome you used to do flats for comics. I used to be a comic colorist - small world!

Indeed! I love being retired, but colour flatting is probably the only job I wouldn't mind doing if I had to work; all of the relaxing fun of doing a colouring book without any of the pressures of doing the actual colourist's job. 

I actuallly started in comics before that, but I was approached by a local colourist who wanted to start a comic-colouring company but needed help getting started. At the time, home computers weren't powerful enough to work on full-resolution digital colour pages (32 megabytes was the high-end for memory without expensive cards that could take you all the way up to 50 megabytes... yes, "megabytes"). I devised a sysetm that would let them paint 150 dpi colour plates while maintaining a 1200 dpi black plate to keep the line work and text crisp while allowing higher-than-normal colour painting and effects.

 I think I have a couple of examples on my rarely-updated website:
