A comic book is a powerful medium of expression that speaks to a wide variety of ideas and emotions across all genres. DAZ Studio is a great tool to generate renders for your creating comic book artwork!

However, it can take a great deal of time in building and rendering those scenes. The Comic Book Creation kit (bundle version) saves you time and energy in providing you with over a hundred renders ready to select from and build your own comic book. This kit includes an extensive video course of over 13 hours of instruction and insights on composing your comic by Drew Spence, a professional comic book artist.

The artwork in this kit is royalty-free – so you are free to create and publish your own stories with this kit. Over 1250 PNG renders of various characters are included across contemporary, sci-fi, and fantasy scenes. The renders come in a selection of styles ready to select, sequence, and compose into your own story.

Drew teaches you how to use and arrange the elements of a comic book:

• Panels
• Lettering
• Word/Thought balloons
• Captions
• Sound effects
• Panels
• Borders
• Gutters

He shows you how to…

• Map a story structure onto a comic book layout
• Show, rather than tell a dynamic story
• Progress and express characters through their story arcs
• Create strong visual appeal
• Gain a comic book style that fits your story
• Comprehend comic book elements and use them to your advantage
• Compose comic book elements with confidence
• Master composition of characters in a shot (for a panel)

This course is for you if you are…

• Overwhelmed with the prospect of creating a comic book
• Wanting to add extra impact or emotion to your visual story,
• Needing a comprehensive understanding of comic book elements in all their varieties and how to use them effectively.
• Having challenges in using composition for comic book elements

The Warning (10 book series)

An enormous machine slowly materializes in a major West Coast city. Who sent it—and why—is a mystery, understood only by the malevolent beings gliding silently toward Earth through the inky vastness of space. In response, a multinational combat brigade called Gladiator Two-Six is deployed. Outfitted with next-generation military science and weapons, they’re tasked with stopping any extraterrestrial threat that emerges.
