For a very long time, I have wanted to find a way to show my comics in a single browser, with downloadable modules containing individual issues. So, I finally got up the willpower to sit down and write the program. I am not a programmer, but I have been tinkering with flash for a few years, so I chose to do it in flash. Instead of downloadable modules, I created it so that every page is downloadable. This way, it is all contained in a single panel, with no files on your hard drive that you have to search for, etc. I believe the big plus is that you can copy and paste the code to your website, blog, or Myspace page, like an embeddable Youtube player for comics. That makes it even cooler! :D
A few years ago, I experimented with Photoshop to try and make something look like an old piece of parchment for a website I was working on for my online comic books. Recently, I started a new site for my online comics, and finally found a solution. I created an Adobe Photoshop video tutorial showing how I made the parchment effects on my website. The website will be up soon, so check back to see it in action. It's at: http://realmwalkers.comicgenesis.com. Check out the video and let me know what you think!
I am a 31-year-old artist, struggling to break into the industry. I like to share Adobe Photoshop tutorials and "how to" videos of my digital paintings. I also blog on some of the stuff that I am interested in or I find amusing (which is a lot).
I also play drums in a band which recently got back together to play a reunion show.
And, I have created several webpages in the past, and currently update one on a regular basis.
Plus, I have a wife and two kids who try not to beat me for having so many interests.
What can I say, I'm a busy guy!
