Description Yes, I have delusions of creating my own manga one of these days. Shut up. #>_># Plus, while I can't fully use the ComicWorks program on my computer, I *WAS* able to import the digital screentones into photoshop so I could play around ^o^ Thought I might as well put up this page I was playing around with while I was brainstorming for ideas for Tokyopop's RSOM contest. This isn't a page from the story I submitted, but rather a story I started and ended up rejecting.

Anyhoos, anything's better than having y'all stare at Heartbreaker for another three months, yeah? Eheh. I'm working on revamping my website with a friend, so I promise I'll have more 'real' art up soon.

ComicWorks started as a Japanese-language computer program designed specifically for people who want to create manga digitally. There was an English version that came out a while back, which is the one I own. It's pretty useful, since you can save your documents as psd files and play with them in PhotoShop as well as CW. You can find out more here: [link]

hope that helps! ^o^

So there's a way to import the Comic Works tones into photoshop eh? This information is invaluable. I can't believe I never thought to try. haha, Now to just figure it out. . . hmm

Your art is very well done btw. Nice balance and good flow with dynamic panels. I love the style. Those tones really top it off nicely too.

Thanks! As for using the comicworks tones in PS, all I did was save a 'sheet' of each digital tone that I wanted to use as a double-layered psd file (background layer and the screentone layer on top). There was some business with resizing and adjusting to get the full 'sheet' to fit on the default document size in ComicWorks, but it's really just about having a little extra time to sit down and do it XD

my favorites are the third panel with the door, and the last panel with the steps. : P dont kno why, but i just really like those two, i especially like the nice detail you put into it such as the shadow of the wall on the ground in the last panel. all in all, its pretty nicey-nice!
