Arkin Custom Comics to make customized comic books for online clients
By ANKITA SHAH
 
All of us dream of being superheroes.

Pune-based Arkin Custom Comics is all set to create custom made comic books for individuals on photographs provided by them. By July 2008, the story ideas of the comics will be available online, for clients to choose from.

Arkin Comics was established in April 2008. Around 20 artists are currently working in the custom comics division.

Arkin Comics CEO Rohan Kapadia told AnimationXpress.com, "Arkin Custom Comics is a patented idea and technology wherein we create comic books for superhero fans who want to see themselves featured in their own comic books. You get to see your look-alike superhero in a comic book specially designed by our artists exclusively for you at a very affordable price. We have already had offline sales before and online sales will begin by the first week of July."

To buy an Arkin comic book one just needs to select a story in which he/she wants to appear, upload their photographs in the mentioned angles and make the payment. The customer will receive his/her copy of the Arkin Custom Comic book in a month's time, Kapadia informed.

Arkin Studios, a division of Arkin Comics does 2D outsourcing projects dealing with comic art as well as illustration solutions. It is currently doing three international projects and many more are in the pipeline.

Arkin Comics is also creating Indian's first 3D comic book series with a number of new superheroes. These 3D CGI comic books will be out in the market soon.

"Our 3D CGI comic book series has been specially created keeping in mind the readers' interests in art and story, at the same time. Unlike all other comic books in India, this comic book will be made with 3D modeling methods and will be realistic. The stories and the characters are based on fantasy from India," said Rohan Kapadia.
