It depends if you're doing your comic digitally or traditionally. For traditional comics, all the panels are drawn straight onto the piece of paper. When I'm drawing each Westward page (which is done digitally) I tend to draw each panel in a different photoshop document, so each panel is drawn as a seperate individual artwork. Once I'm satisfied, I copy all comic pages over onto a new blank document and put them together, like a jigsaw. Other work, such as special effects and text, goes over the top. I'm not sure how well I explained that... I can probably whip together a really quick tutorial tonight or tomorrow for you, though. Oh. I actually do everything on my mini iPad, but the drawing program is pretty good. It's called procreate, and I can draw the panels beforehand. Thanks! No worries! Maybe I should look into that for my iPad... Can you do transparent backgrounds?

You have no idea how long it took to figure that out....

You can do glow affects, adjust opacity on layers, and a bunch of stuff I haven't figured out. Also, loads of preset brushes and you can customize them too.

That is frustrating, but I did figure out how to change the page layout from 'basic' to 'parchment' XD The page is cream coloured with a fancy heading now XD
And thank you! Sand makes gorgeous layouts~ The coding is a real pain to copy over though, particularly that allegiances post :/

Now I've got to learn the ways of BBCodes. (It took me 1 and a half years to learn HTML too. Oh well. )

I haven't worked with BBC code since the original forums. I can't call them the old forums anymore, since the hoopl.a forums are the old ones now :/

I know. But I'm still going to call them the old forum. I'm just going to call the hoopl.a forums the WCF forums. Old habits die hard.

Yes, it is. Need any help? I think Brownie had something about how to center your banner if you want me to go look it up.
