10 – The Offer || The Battery

[J][040927]

So, finally I get to write this one. Here we go.

I save my comics (well, export them, actually) in JPEG format. D-san uses gif. I find that strange, since he scans at highest color resolution, and usually gifs have to stay with a small color palette or else they get really big. Like his, which are around 150Kb each.

My JPEGs are around 41 Kb each. Hmm…

On the other hand, this could also have to do with which programs we use to assemble our comics. D-san uses Paint Shop Pro. I use Macromedia Flash. That’s right, you heard me–Flash, the so-called “Animation” tool. Well, I can do animation with it, but I can also use its drawng tools and create things like speech bubbles with bent stems effortlessly. D-san…well, he’s taken to drawing his speech bubble outlines manually now…

Oh yeah, I put up an Error 404 page, so if you click on a broken link (like my sketches page, seeing as I have no great sketches to put on this page) you get to see my html skills at work!

Alright, that’s it for today. Good night.

I don’t have much to rant about this time through… Besides our low hits and bad grades, neither which I want to talk about. Actually, I already talked about our low hits, so yeah, whatever.

So what we get today are crappy, dumpbox quality sketches! By me! And they aren’t even relevant to NWars!

Here is a picture of Zan. Zan, of course, is from Reflection, and all that stuff. You can read Reflection to find out about that stuff. In this sketch I was just showing J-San what I thought a particular pose of his should’ve been.

Here is a picture of a boat and an island. I was showing my sister what a boat and an island should look like. Of course, hers didn’t look a thing like it, but hey, it makes for a nice dumpbox sketch. I had a better island that had this cool volcano on it, but the sketch was too blurred to see. Oh well. The boat’s sails are kinda screwed up.

Here is a picture of a landscape thingy… and a building. Personally, I don’t think the landscape thing is all that great (There’s a road and a distance marker and a signpost, if you can’t tell, yes I suck at landscape) but I really liked the building. I even used it for one of the NWars later on. It’s really heavily based off of asian buildings, for that matter.

Here is a thing of more landscape. More landscape that sucks, at least. This was a bit better, you can kinda see how I TRIED to get the river to look indented, and it didn’t really work… At least it looks like a river… maybe? The road looks like a road? Maybe?

Aww, forget it. If you want to look at some slightly better art, I put two really nice (In my opinion) sketches up.
