I'm trying to design a badass lady cyborg type of character for a game. This naturally involves lots of important and difficult research like carefully studying Masamune Shirow artbooks and of course picking up all the Adam Warren Dirty Pair trade paperbacks. I still haven't succeeded in designing the character, but on the other hand, I now have ( ( Read more... )

There is a lot of horrible, wrong information out there on the Web about how to edit animated GIFs in Adobe Photoshop CS3 on Mac OSX -- and don't get me started on the parlous state of alternative tools that claim to accomplish the same job, because we'll be here all week. Here is what you actually need to do:

Oh yes indeed you better believe it. If the page looks a little different it's because I composed it using The Gimp on my laptop while my desktop is still in the shop.

It had been. After watching it, I ended up looking at the MSPA forums a bit, saw a thread about drawing the first panel of the story in ( Read more... )

I acquired a cheap Wacom Bamboo tablet a little while ago on the general principle that I need to find an entirely new and better way of doing webcomics, my current methodology having pretty much hit a cul-de-sac of both efficiency and quality -- and the next comic Jon and I will be doing requires steps forward in those areas.

This is a free reactivation weekend for the MMO City of Heroes. As I've mentioned in the past, I played COH for a while and achieved (if you can call it achieving, which it isn't really) maximum level with my favorite character, Winter Storm. In the process I managed to do most of the task forces and finish most of the challenges available. The one ( Read more... )

Some improvements to the sprite landscape thing.

I won't have the AB page done for you until tomorrow, but I can at least give you this sketch of Kaguya Nanbu from Super Robot Taisen OG Saga: Endless Frontier that I did a few days ago.
