For a title font I think I would resort to a computer program like Illustrator, since a poorly lettered logo on a book can make you look amateurish.<br /><br />I always loved the way Spider-man attracted dudes who dressed like animals: Rhino, Vulture, Scorpion, Jackal, Grizzly, etc...I don't know why the Kangaroo didn't wear a costume (maybe a guy in a <i>kangaroo</i> suit was the one they thought was too ridiculous?)<br /><br />Remember that episode of the 1960s Spider-Man cartoon where the Rhino was stealing gold just so he could make a life-size statue of himself? I loved that show!Doug Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17337748651695385693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1508574945329457002.post-86853733137429998072011-02-27T22:45:35.815-08:002011-02-27T22:45:35.815-08:00I'm with Mike.

I can't wait till he makes his way into a Hulk or Spiderman movie. <br /><br />All these covers are really wonderful, Doug. I'm loving that Popeye as well. <br /><br />Yeah, lettering - the part of the work that let me know I could never be very good. Yours looks fantasticMykal Bantahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12148489896145024134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1508574945329457002.post-5717123552004512812011-02-20T13:38:35.570-08:002011-02-20T13:38:35.570-08:00Thanks, Gabriel!

I need to practice so the total time to produce a printable image gets faster. Right now I'm tempted to use computer fonts, but they look too sterile for my taste.Doug Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17337748651695385693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1508574945329457002.post-80905337651770396462011-02-20T12:23:49.789-08:002011-02-20T12:23:49.789-08:00"I need lots of practice!"
You must be k..."I need lots of practice!"<br />You must be kidding! If doubt, you're on the right way, that's for sure.
