Deed The Inky

So you may have noticed on today’s cartoon that the text looks a little bit different, if you are the sort of person who notices these things. That is because I just got my handwriting made into a font. I used YourFonts, and it was super easy and just all-round awesome. The main reason I did this was not so much out of laziness, but saving time. Even though it might not look like it, each one of these cartoons takes about 2-3 hours to draw and colour. And about two-thirds of that is taken up with writing out all the lettering by hand. It turns out that it’s actually quite difficult to write legibly on a Wacom tablet, ’cause you’re not really looking at where the pen is making contact. I am sure it would be easier on a Cintiq, but unless someone likes Deed The Inky enough to spend $2000 at the Wacom store and send me one, this will have to do.
I am going to throw my hat into the ring right now, and predict that this will not happen.
