Comments very welcome. I've done a minimal amount of retouching on the screenies so far, worried that too much might disqualify me.

Ideally, I'd love to go through and give all the pages a four-colour feel. Preliminary tests are encouraging regarding being able to make the pages look like a late 70s horror comic.

All links are to my DeviantArt site.

As to my DeviantArt name - no relation to the OTHER Virtueite named Reiraku. I've been using that alias since 1996, when I chose it as the name of a major character in a fanfic series I edited.

lookin' good man. Was that all done with the "approved" program?

Thanks! It was mostly done with the trial version of Comic Book Creator.

I used Photoshop for minor touchups and for page layout where CBC didn't have the template I needed. I'd then load the Photoshop page into a CBC splash page.

All bubbles, text boxes, captions and sound effects were done with CBC. I was pleased to find the program makes it easy to import fonts.

Correct me if I'm wrong (and now would be better than later , but I don't think using Photoshop like that would disqualify you in any way. I thought the rules simply stated that you could run filters and effects from other programs as long as "it was clear the images originated from screenshots".

Or something like that.

Is that still the general rule?

Thanks. Starting on mine soon.
