Colour to Half-tone

I spent most of yesterday converting a couple of comics from colour/web format, to half-tone/print format. This is part of test for the graphics novels I'm doing for my Masters, which I intend to draw in colour, and then convert much the same way for eventual printing (and later profession publication).

The first comic was Floods and Storms which originally appeared back in 2007 just after the devastating storms that hit the Central Coast of New South Wales. Here's the colour and half-tone versions of page 14:

The second comic is a collection of strips about (and using) Second Life. Here's the colour and half-tone versions of the cover:

The images above are screen shots from Photoshop using "print view". It remains to be seen just how effective the Half-tones will be, especially for the SL stuff. Both comics will be 24 pages long, and be available at the T.I.N.A. Zine/Arts Fair. I still need to work on Hypergraphia #7, which will use a similar format.
