Graphic Novel Issue 3

After a lengthy delay, I’ve completed issue #3 of the graphic novel adaptation. For this issue, I mostly used NightCafe for image generation, which is a big improvement. It produces very high quality, detailed illustrations. I also use the fantastic ComicLife from Plasq for layout.

AI image generation continues to improve, but it still gets more wrong than it gets right! So it cane take a dozen or more attempts before I get an image I’m happy with.

It’s been interesting to convert a novel into a more graphic medium. This section, which takes us through chapter 19 has a lot of dialog, and sometimes that slows the pace. Still, there’s some action to break things up, which is good. (I blame the source material!)

You can download the first three issues as ePub eBooks (suitable for Mac, iPhone, Kindle) or PDF files. This covers the first 150 pages (19 chapters) of the book.
