Two pages of our manga.
A shy schoolgirl finds out her old cat can talk and was a samurai. The story, both characters and all eight panels came from one idea. Where each character’s head is in the panels was marked by hand, and the app placed every balloon and tail from those marks. Our example was made with the Tesseract beta.
The same two characters in every panel.
In our example each character had a reference picture, and every panel they are in was drawn from it.
- Every panel is first sketched free. Drawing them is paid: from your Tesseract allowance, with the price said first, or on a picture key of your own.
