September Update
I've skipped the last few updates since there hasn't really been much news to share. I've been busy with real life stuff so I haven't had the time available to start on new comics aside from the monthly content. My original plan was to start Street Angels 3 in summer, but I ended up being too busy to work on it, so towards the end of the year is now looking more likely.
One Pagers
I've been pretty happy with the amount of variety in the One Pagers. There are a lot of fun new ideas in there that could be the inspiration for new comics. In particular, the Pet Stepsister page got the most likes of any content I've ever put out, so I can see that being a strong contender in any future voting.
AI Updates
One new update is that I've been able to use AI to create a suite of tools to speed up the creation of comic pages. These include:
- Daz scripts to more easily browse my library of content and switch between lights/cameras etc.
- Scripts to quickly send files between Daz, Zbrush, and Marvelous Designer for cloth simulation.
- A Photoshop plugin to scan page text for spelling and grammar mistakes.
- A Photoshop plugin to quickly run AI upscaling on selected pixels so that I can selectively paint in additional detail for hair and faces.
The AI upscaling on characters is a bit of a push and pull, it can offer some quick wins to make faces look more natural, but it can often introduce problems like changing the direction eyes are looking or introducing visual artifacts. So it's something I have to carefully paint in, and where I can I'm trying to improve the quality of the base CG art to get closer to the AI result so AI paintovers are needed only in specific situations.
Penal Injustice
The end is in sight for the first chapter of the Penal Injustice comic. I think there will be either 2 or 3 more parts to finish this chapter of the story. Once I know for sure, probably next month, I'll be able to start voting for what the next monthly comic will be. That will take the form of two parts, a nomination phase for subscribers to suggest ideas, and then voting to choose the most popular idea. Both sequels and new ideas based on One Pagers will be able to be nominated, it'll just be up to what people want to see the most.
