I cannot begin to hold in my excitement for The Sword of Truth series, The Legend of the Seeker that will premeire on November 1st to ABC. This series is based on the Sword of Truth books by Terry Goodkind. As one who is on the final book Confessor, my anticipation for this series could not be any more pegged at the top of anyone’s anticipation level.
The weekly hourlong series follows Richard Cypher, a young man who makes his living leading people through dangerous forests, as he investigates the murder of his father and finds himself opposing Darken Rahl, the son of an evil wizard.
Goodkind’s popular novels, first published in the mid-’90s, span 11 volumes so far. Wizard’s First Rule will be shot in high-definition video.
That’s right. I just said that IN THE SAME SENTENCE. VisionAire is what it is called. The post says it is really not multi-touch, but that sounds so cool. Take that Wacom. I want to draw in the air. Can you image your entire room as your palette? Video below.
You will totally be the envy of the town with this sucker. Just think of all the places you can play! Who needs emulators? I hear this is only a mere $300 dollars. This could only be better if you wear the Blow Me shirt.
For all you people that are starting their webcomics, or thinking of redesigning your webcomics layout, please give this a listen. There are many, many, valid points to be had here. SEO is very important in bringing your webcomic to the top of the search engines pages.
As you all know, I hold the design of your front page pretty heavily (as you should) in my reviews. This is the one thing that makes someone stay or leave in one split second. As much as you want it to believe it is your current webcomic on the front page that draws them in… its not. You could have the golden nugget of the internet, but people won’t see it through the turd it is sitting in. I cannot stress this enough.
Is there any tips you guys have come across that you would like to add to these fine ass general rules presented here? Any design tips specifically for the webcomic world?
