Lara Croft & The Phallic Tomb (Patreon)

Took those roughs and turned them into a short comic! (Be sure to check out all 5 files) The story is pretty basic & contrived; Lara is looking for an artifact, an ancient fertility symbol shaped like a penis. Turns out it comes with a curse that "blesses" its new owner, and it has a LOT of pent up energy from all those years trapped in that tomb!

I'm using a new tool I'm trying out called Comic Life 3. It's pretty useful, makes layout and adding dialog pretty quick and painless, compared to Photoshop where everything is manual. I did have a little trouble getting the panels to be precisely where I wanted them, so I'm aware some of them don't quite lineup (the app even has snap-to, so not sure how that kept happening).

The text sizing & placement gets a little wonky though, so some of the balloons are bigger than I want, and some text is off-centered or not spaced the way I like. Some manual control of those would be nice, but it still beats doing everything by hand.
