Spoiler for Summer Cold:


Spoiler for Vacation:




Sorry I missed this question before. ^^; Actually, in the pictures with the colors, the background IS still white. (I grab the color to make sure I'm going to paint it right to get rid of the text, and the hex was FFFFFF which is solid white). I just grabbed the darker parts of the colors and when I blurred the bottom layer for the text, I made it that dark color, rather then hex #545454 like I do on the B&W pictures.

As for the fonts, I used 4 different ones over-all.

The standard font I used is "Anime Ace 2.0 BB"

In the above comics, look at the vacation page 2. "Wh-What's the matter, did something happen!?" is in "Comic Book Commando Bold Italic" and "Should've guessed he wasn't..." is in "Comic Book Commando Italic" The leading on Comic Book Commando is kinda messed up since it's a small font and photoshop automatically gives it a larger leading to compensate for it, thinking the letters would be on top of each other. So, in pretty much every single spot where I use those fonts, I decreased the leading. (Leading, with the 'lead' pronounced like the metal not the verb, is the space between lines of text)

Revisiting "Only You" page 2:


The "WH-" is the font "SF Slapstick Comic" with the leading adjusted to be larger, making the letter lower, on the H and smaller so that it's higher on the -, and I added a stroke on the blending options to outline the character. (Also, the follow up in that bubble, the "No way!" is back to Comic Book Commando Bold Italic, everything else on that page is Anime Ace.)

I can't remember if I adjusted the kerning anywhere... I may have done it on some ellipses, but I can't recall. (Kerning is the space between characters, ellipses are "...")

I believe I got all of my fonts from DaFont, if anyone's looking. ^^
