The only real concern I have is that there's no "original art" to buy. On the flip side-artists can sell lower priced print quality reproductions of the pages very easily so multiple interested parties can acquire the piece-this is what a lot of artists who work in the RPG industry do. Most of the current art for it is digitally created (with the exception of some of the old school guys still working in the industry) and then prints of the art are sold at conventions, via websites, etc. The publishers only get first use rights to the pieces in most cases and the artists retain the right to distribute/sell or reuse the pieces later. -M |

Oh, I hadn't thought of that.
Very cool. I'll be on the prowl for that.

There might be some issues with copyrights and trademarks on comic pages, I am no expert on the legalities, but there may be a difference between selling a painting of a dragon fighting a wizard used as the cover for Papers an Paychecks RPG handbook as a print and selling a page of Action Man #1 TM and copyright Corporate Comic Group as a print. Original art is a physical item being sold, and cannot be duplicated by the corporation, a page of an issue could be, so there could be some red tape that changes things...again comics often operate differently than the RPG industry in many ways. -M |

I myself am unlikely to ever actually buy a published piece, but they are cool and lots of people collect them. This is one reason I think the Wacom tablet will not replace the bristol board for many artists. It's another avenue to get paid. Draw the comic, get paid by the publisher, sell the art, get paid by the fans. |

It kinda depends on what you mean by "graphic novel". If you're using it in a broad sense, First's Shatter would have been the first totally computer-generated comic... For a while--the idea was that they'd generate characters, vehicles, backgrounds, etc., and resize/rearrange them as needed for stories. But it never really worked out and they ended up just drawing pages, scanning them in, and just using the computer to drop in tones. |

I think digital when used correctly can enhance traditional hand drawn art very well. When reading Wasteland sometimes I felt like I had 3D glasses on. I like the fonts used for international languages in American Vampire. I've seen several types of digital tricks used that I liked. Some were obviously a computer enhancement, like the changing of tone and color in an inked line, and some were less obvious, where I'd find out in the letters column or supplementary material that the effect was computer generated.
