Hi, folks. Just posted my third "The Toonicorn" comic at my site at Deviant Art! (Be sure to click on the image to enlarge it for easier reading!)

It was rendered in Xara and colored in Photoshop! Please let me know what you think!

Clearly, Sir Blathersham will have to change his hunting tactics (although I doubt he'll ever succeed in laying his hands on the prized horn)!

Thanks for the great colorful fun!

Well done! Thanks for sharing. I'm inspired to think up of my own cartoon character... hmm... (ouch! thinking hurts)

Toonicorn,

When you said you render it in Xara could you explain what you meant by that. I am just trying to understand how you are using Xara and Photoshop to develop and produce your comic.

Thanks,
Ray

TC it's great to see how you are developing this style...

@RKissane inking [render] in xara, flood fill [bucket] colour in PS, I would imagine... that's based on the previous....

Correct, handrawn. All the line work and lettering was via Xara, while Photoshop was used for coloring and clean-up. I haven't yet upgraded to the version of Xara with the lasso...can you tell me, is it as good as (or hopefully, better than) Photoshop's? The reason I don't use Xara for coloring is because its bucket tool just fills everything - apparently my lines are never closed up enough to prevent this. Pretty frustrating!
