Norwegian book about comic history out now - with hey Cerebus at the top of the cover:) (Also on the cover some excellent Norwegian and euro comics you might not have heard of.)

Not sure what "Shipstation" is but comic artist and user success story Tom Dell’Aringa likes Cerebus so you know it's good:)

Here's the original clip https://youtu.be/oFp6aqD3lRE
John Chen who did the amazing lighting of the scene and the rendering and color correction in the original clip assures me the render I did is correct - it's just a matter of color correcting the render. Pretty amazing what color correction can do - and enjoying learning as much as possible about it. Luckily that is like one of the last steps:)

Color Correction by Sean Robinson of Cerebus image - many of these same processes are used in the Cerebus film (and will be used more in it's the final stages). http://momentofcerebus.blogspot.com/2015/09/color-sharpening-focus-on-can3.html
(Many of the tools in fact have the same name as we use mostly After Effects. Photoshop is for still images and After Effects is for footage. Both products are by the same company "Adobe")

Sean Kleefeld looks at "The Creator's Bill of Rights"
http://www.kleefeldoncomics.com/2015/09/on-business-creators-bill-of-rights.html
From the article: After a dispute with Diamond Distributors, Dave Sim tried pulling together other comic creators to try establish some rules designed "to protect their rights as creators and publishers and oppose exploitation by corporate work for hire practices and the power of distributors to dictate the means of distribution."
