Maybe I gave the impression that I had a software doing all the work
for me, but if you give a try to ComiPo (there's a trial version)
you'll see that it's not exactly this way.
For example, I'm not using stock backgrounds (the ones that come with
the software) instead, for each panel I took one or more snapshots in
SL from the angle I imagined the panel to be drawn. Then I process
them in Gimp to make them match the tone of the characters.
Characters have been customized to the extent that ComiPo allows it
(which is not much, alas) and they need to be placed correctly to
match the perspective of the snapshots taken in SL.
You might also have noticed that the characters are not just placed in
front of the background (as it often happens with this type of comics)
but they are "embedded" into it, meaning that once the character is
placed in the right position I have to export separate layers and make
the "front" part emerge from the background.
Also the lettering is done in Inkscape because the ComiPo support for
lettering is very poor.
I claim no artristry, but if I gave the impression that I have a way
to instruct the computer to make comics on my behalf, that's not the
case. I just wanted to create something looking decent, I think the
process I've devised gives me the results I was looking for.
