The Golden Twenty Dice

@davidrevoy I feel like that might depend on the measurements. It does look cool and comic-y when the panels are differently sized. With the 4 panels being perfectly square it also works as a "slideshow" but is less unique.

@davidrevoy For the internet posting, both solution can be valid, but for printing / display, the old layout is still better.

(Though, if you have the laid out image and the four separate one available, it's probably the most flexible, not sure how much of an overhead it is ?)

@davidrevoy Nah, I wouldn't roll it. I'd take it, and then let other people pay me to have a roll. Profit for me, risk for thee

@davidrevoy Thank you for posting your amazing art!
Both formats are good IMO.

2) looks nicer, more traditional.
1) is bigger etc. as you say. Also better for alt text, that’s reason enough.

@davidrevoy I don't use a screen reader, but I imagine using one picture per panel might make it easier on people who use one. On top of keeping the alt text per picture more concise

@davidrevoy yea.. thankfully you can still view on the remote(poster's) instance and it will display fine

@davidrevoy keep it, but add a link to the corresponding blog post (for sharing with non-Mastodon folks)

@davidrevoy I like the split images because on mobile I have to zoom in anyways to read, OTOH having it in one image makes it easier to save and share with others. So, maybe both somehow?

@davidrevoy
I prefer the single image version even on my mobile, because I'm an old fogey and I'm too used to seeing it all in one go, but I can see a case for having both options available.

Maybe posting one version on a post and the alternative as a reply might get the best of both worlds?

@davidrevoy I prefer a single image, because with multiple images I have to click on each one separately to open it. Even on mobile, I find it easy to read an entire comic as a single image. I am surprised by how many people prefer the larger single panels! Obviously I am an outlier.

Another possibility would be a single image that was one panel wide, so you scroll down to read it, as with mobile app sites like tapas and webtoon.

I'll keep reading regardless, obviously.

@Profpatsch Yes, or even just proposing a carousel mode: just the first panel visible with dots under that indicate their is pictures to flip. (or arrows and a count)
