Hey Gcharb!
Great to see you back mate!

D.K

Hey Gilles! Welcome back, so nice to hear from you again!

Rusc, Funks, Capricorn, DK, good to hear from all of You and thanks for the kind words, sure been a while!

Rusk, for me, work is play, that is the beautiful thing about what We do, but thanks for your invite.

Yeah, smart bone is a treat, looks exactly like the smartskin tool for Animation Master v9, for which I made a tutorial in like 2001, I believe it is still available on Hash FTP, man this brings me back!

Definitely a tutorial to come.

I got the Manga Studio 4 demo, loved it, and 5 looks even better, but I looked into ways of making online comics with Anime Studio, and it worked surprisingly well, so I may have a go at it.

Welcome Back. I have read your tutorials.

Welcome back Gilles.
I did not know you were sick ( I thought you were just sick of us ), was it an accident?

I'm glad you are back and feeling better.

How could I ever get sick of You guys, now common!!!

Yeah, had a severe stroke early 2012, was quite a trip back, but I did it, well mostly, still have some motor problems and I have to wear glasses now, but still, I was quite lucky and I found out how much of a great family I have!

It's been awhile. A big welcome back

Nice! Looking forward to that. I purchased Manga Studio 4 but never really got around to playing with it.

I watched many of the Manga Studio 5 video tutorials, and if it had bones and switch layer, it would be a killer app for comics, not that its not nice as it is, but with bones and switch layers, man, We could make tons of comics in no time.

I replicated some of the basic tools in AS, like I used mask to easily create frames, you can easily build text balloons for 9, just need to put the templates in the proper folder, and I did some tests with the included characters, works well, and no need to re ink and repaint every frames, since You use pre-made characters that You pose and then tweak the points.

Reuse is definitely is going to be a time saver.

Thats pretty much the idea, but the challenge is to keep it high quality, and I believe AS can do it while helping crunch comics faster.

Like I said, been reading tons of online comics in the last 5-6 months or so, pretty much all I could do, but I kept thinking about ways to make comics fast, will try to show some examples soon!
