    Very cool. Really great achievement to complete this. I used to work in print as the print supervisor at officemax and there's a setting on the xerox machine that will make booklets like this for you including a different colored cover page and stapled into the booklet of your size. You just need your artwork in a pdf in the page order and it will figure out the rest. If you want to produce in larger quantities I would recommend trying it out assuming the print specialist there knows how to use this setting of the copier. It's pretty cool.

    congrats on getting the comic finished 😀 12 pages is a lot of work, Kirby started just as small
    I'm lazy and just use indesign to layout book pages. i know you can do it with clip studio too, but havent gotten that far into that program
    (yep, its a bone folder 😉)

  • @derekdjay
    @derekdjay 3 года назад +2

    I thought it's all useless calculations until I realized what it really means. It's not meant to be bound and then hand drawn page by page. it's meant to be drawn digitally, and then printed on double-ppage double-sided sheets. That's why all that math is needed, so that all pages could be arranged with each sheet havingtwo complementary halves in order to be bound like a notebook rather than like a book.

    Do you only sell it on Etsy? Might you be coming out with a PDF of your comics? Feel embarrassed asking, but shipping costs more than $10 bucks to Canada.
    Shipping...dang you! 😬

    • @DoomsayerDesigns
      @DoomsayerDesigns  3 года назад +2

      No that’s totally understandable! I don’t have a pdf yet but I should in the next few days hopefully. And yeah, the last one I shipped to Canada was about 15 bucks. As soon as I get a pdf I’ll put in on the Etsy store and let you know ASAP.

    What website did you use to shrink yours down? And which way did you draw your pages on the 11x17? Both panels on the paper horizontally, or one panel on the paper vertically? Sorry if it’s a complicated question

    • @DoomsayerDesigns
      @DoomsayerDesigns  2 года назад

      No worries! I actually didn’t use a website I just used a program called sign lab to scale down the pages to 50% and put them on a piece of 8.5x11 copier paper, but you Could use any photos editing program like photoshop. As for the orientation, two portrait (vertical) 11x17 boards at 50% will fit, side by side, on an 8.5x11 piece of copier paper.
      Let me know if that doesn’t answer your question. 😁

    • @DoomsayerDesigns
      @DoomsayerDesigns  Год назад

      I drew it out on 11x17 bristol board then sized it down 50%. The lettering is done digital.
      The paper is just like green cardstock I bought online. It doesnt have to be hardstock I just preferred it.
