Swords of CIH? Volume 2 and 3 covers!

Benjamin Hobbs:

This week I've been putting together a bunch of CIH? proofs for Dave, including the proofs for the first three volumes of SWORDS OF CEREBUS IN HELL?.  

Dave described Swords as template publishing, but I'm finding that it's slightly more work than how it was pitched.

For example, all of the covers and interior covers needed to be converted to grayscale:  

The covers are made up of 8 existing covers, so I needed high resolution versions of the original covers.  Once they were exported and placed, the ease of template publishing took hold:


Swords volume 1 is available to order now from Diamond!

Next Week: The covers of Volumes 4 and 5?

"template publishing"; I thought Heraldry?
Me, I see argent, in chief a Batvark displayed, in bend sinister a Batvark 'bungeed' standant, all proper
Might have to rely on our UK friends for a truly accurate blazon...

Make that displayed, bend sinisterwise a Batvark 'bungeed' standant, all proper

The b&w images, of course...

And: 'mulberry' (the 'pudding' color standing-in for 'fudgy grey'), a lightning bolt argent, in dexter chief bendwise a Batvark sable

Being a Bournemouth/Boston hybrid, I ask no one's pardon if I fucked it up :P (so *that's* what went wrong...)

And again: 'mulberry', a lightning bolt argent, in dexter fesse bendwise a Batvark sable

Multiple attempts not uncommon in trying nail a blazon - sorry!
'mulberry', a lightning bolt argent, in dexter fesse bendwise a Batvark standant inverted, sable

The point: If no one caught my reference to Dave's "Monday Report" (and all religious 'cryptography') as simply "Heraldic French", there ya go (see above)
Sorry again for the length of it...

Re "template publishing", still pondering making .svg files (of my own stuff) publicly available... if a *lot* of vector graphics were available for young writers to 'try their wings' at storytelling, I think that would be a good thing... reminded of this when "Strange Brain Parts" mentioned copyright is necessary (below), which I've never done (I've got hundreds, who cares if someone swipes one), again I think we could get a lot more people expressing themselves as above (not stuck the way I once was - and still am, really, though that's currently a human rights/social hypocrisy issue)...
Thought of this again after sending Matt a transparent .png (with character)...
Can we innovate at AMOC? On behalf of all those independent/developing writers/artists?
