/coc/ - Projects

Oh yeah, man, we're doing this.

What do you guys think about using Badaboom for exclamations and sfx?

Updated the second link with Rena en el Siglo Cuarenta. As before, I left the irregular fonts to figure out later the best way to typeset them.

You did good with editing out the background, I'm guessing it was just the default context sensitive fill, but it works fine and you can only tell the difference if you eyeball both panels for comparison.

For the replaced font, I'd try to stay close to the original ones style (try to keep the same colour and relative size). In this case what stands out the most is the lack of black outline. The outline is also important because then the text is more readable when placed in front of a non-empty background.

Also keeping the font size similar (not per-letter, but so the floating text is around the same size) means you can place the text on the same area that you had to fill up when removing the original text, meaning that you can use it to hide up any inaccuracies in the background fill.

The original uses hand-drawn letters, you can't exactly do that in photoshop/gimp unless you opt to re-draw it. But you could perhaps make the text have some effect so it's not blindingly obvious that you just put a text box in there.

>>418362
I'll keep looking for a better font, then.

>>418363
>>418364
It's not just a question of the font, you can use things like text kerning and transformations to make the text appear longer/bigger, non-uniform, or even wavy. If you want to go the extra mile, you could even just set the font size per letter (but that's really annoying to edit).

For the swirly effect, you can apply a curving shape in photoshop and then put text on it:

dunno how to do it in other editors tho.

>>418365
Thanks!

>>418364
Write the text, turn the layer into a raster, then distort it.
This is assuming you use Photoshop.

>>418367
I'm working on gimp, but thanks anyway.

>>418368
You can also do that in Gimp.

Thanks, this'll be useful

Updated the clean mega with La Corte del Rey Arturo.

>>418372
I think it looks as good as it needs to be.

Translatordude here
here is my first draft of Kilikili and Golagolas
https://mega.nz/file/DkpCWSaa
I'll make a thread on /co/ too in case anyone else wants to join us.
Waiting for proofreaders and corrections.

>>418376
I'm kind of busy right now, but tomorrow I'll be able to review it.

forgot the key https://mega.nz/file/DkpCWSaa#ALDP6Wk1g3fbJzP9Wj1Y2t_1SsysOUnNBMwHVLT6oJc
here it is

>>418376
>>418378
Typesetter here.
Looks alright at first glance. Do you mind if I edit the dialogue whenever I feel it looks off?

>>418379
Sure, though we might need to keep check of certain terms (specifically for Ogu) since they become recurring in later issues.

>>418383
"...his partner int uncountable..."

>>418387
Yeah, yeah. I fixed it from the final version already.

>>418388
Translatordude here
I approve the changes so far.

I'm gonna take a good while to typeset Kilikilis, cause I have to study this week. I'll still work on it, but a a slow pace.

>>418411
It looks great, actually.

>>418413
Yeah, but I still have to work in reducing file size.

>>418411
Translator dude here, its looking great, but i think you should kept the "Mampatoo", since phonetically the u at the end Mampatu doesn't carry the same energy and sound for an english speaker. I know i kept the spelling for most of Ogu's caveman words, but the way he changes the spelling for spanish/english words to be more phonetic should be kept IMO since is part of his cha.

>>418415
Charm*

>>418415
I agree that mampatoo sounds better, but mampatu is very prevalentin exclamations and irregular fonts, many of which I can’t change because I can’t redraw. I personally think that it would be better to keep the consistency between the bubbles and exclamations, but if you guys think it’s not important I can change it back.

>>418417
That's a fair point, at least try experimenting to see how it looks, if the feedback is bad you can keep Mampatu unchanged.

>>418418
I'll see what I can do. I guess it doesn't really matter if it's just once or twice.

Apparently there is a re edition of the Oscar Vega issues by editorial Planeta, are those in the scans or we are only sticking to the Themo Lobos ones?

>>418427
I think the consensus is that the non themo books aren't good.

To the other anon translating the Rena book, do you need help? Asking since I'm considering moving on to another book, maybe the giant tree two parter since people seem to be really interested in the books with Rena.

I haven't been able of typesetting this whole week, but I have some free time on saturday. I'll try to make some progress then.

>>418448
>I haven't been able (to work on my hobby) this whole week

god I know how that feels.

>>418448
No worries man, any progress is welcome no mather the speed.

>>418455
CC Splashdown (the rightmost column), but with the same brick colour + black outlines as the original.

>>418457
Looks good enough to me.

>>418457
Translator dude here, i love this one.
Out of curiosity to the other translator anon, how is the Rena book going and how do you feel about doing the Giant tree/mutant rebellion two parter next?

>>418459
Typesetter anon here, and I at least don't mind which order you translate them on, as long as every issue gets translated.

Just wanted to let you all know that I'm still alive and working on this. I'm halfway done typesetting kilikilis, cause I'm forced to work at a slow pace.

>>418510
Looks like a /pol/ reaction image.

>>418510
Looks good and pretty close to what suggestef in the draft, sorry for the lack of updates btw, family matters got me busy so I haven't been able to translate. I'll try to get something done soon.

>>418514
Don't worry, just work at any pace you can.

Any updates on this?

>>418554
I think I'll be able to finish Kilikilis this week.

>>418558
Looking forward to reading it!

>>418564
I'll read it later when I get back home.

Added the comic in CBR to the mega link.
>>418565
Hope you like it!

>>418447
I think the guy translating Rena is kill.

>>418567
I have been inactive for a while too, I might just start translating Rena instead since is shorter and will allow the typesetter anon to keep releases in order.

>>418569
Keep us updated if you do!

>>418570
got the first 10 pages done, I'll try to get the draft during the week.

>>418572
Cool beans.

>>418566
Note when you are making a CBR link, please make sure you use RAR4 compression, not RAR5, otherwise many apps will be unable to read it.
Or just use CBZ (zip file renamed to cbz).

>>418574
Will do.

>>418574
>>418575
Now it's correctly compressed.

Updated the mega with the translation suggestions from the /co/ storytime thread.

Talking about updates I'm halfway through Siglo 40, hopefully I'll have the whole thing translated before the weekend.

>>418579
Cool. Looking forward to it!

Sorry for the delay, here is the translation script https://mega.nz/file/jo5lUKZA#kfg7lKxIA2lGAVb1aopsYMP0Dbg1d6r_H1ELVR8ehiE
let me know of any mistake or thing I could improve at. Typesetter anon feel free to tell me which book I should translate next.

>>418584
Well, I already cleaned La Corte del Rey Arturo.

By the way, I can't promise that I'll take less than several months to finish typesetting.

>>418564
Should we post this anywhere else?

>>418589
Yeah, the more places you post it, the more places will see it.

Uploading it to e-hentai, then.

>>418591
https://e-hentai.org/g/1703712/b744a218ef/

>>418591
Now in Imgur, too.

I swear I'm not dead. I just haven't had any time whatsoever. I hope to finish Rena before September ends.

>>418670
No worries, we all have IRL stuff to deal with.
In the meanwhile I been watching the cartoon adaptation of the comic, while the artstyle is not particularly great and the voice acting is really uneven, I must say is surprisingly faithful to the comic.
If anyone else is curious

The soundtrack specially took me for surprise, dig the Johnny Quest esque vibe.
