Extension to the Guest Fortnight!

Reinder · Post by **Reinder** » Tue Nov 06, 2001 4:40 am

I've got two extra submissions for the Guest Fortnight. There are also two guests who haven't sent in their finished work yet, but I have confidence that they will. In any case, I will extend the Guest Fortnight to include Friday and Saturday, and move the start of the new story to Sunday. November will be an extremely crowded month <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/smile.gif">------------------

I've just oploaded 3 more pictures, called rocr.finished, finished2 and finished3.
None of them are really finished, but they are progressive stages of a publishable version of the comic.I'm still far from happy with it, but I'm afraid I won't have time to do something about it until this weekend (if then), so I guess this'll have to do.And if I just blame everything on my inexperience with making comics on the computer, it's really not that bad. (Or so I keep telling myself.)------------------

I arm myself against the consequences of computer suckiness by savin important stuff on both my sucky hard drives.MCV, The Gimp for Windows is the answer to your problems - apart from making Linux work again, of course.(Me, I plan to remove my linux partitions as part of a general re-arrangement of my PC. It may or may not be replaced by a newer version of linux on the other hard drive later on)------------------

Congrats on your kilopost btw!

It's our only hope for making them suck less.------------------

OooOOooh! It's my comic!
Sorry it's a bit bigger than your normal ones: it's hogging a lot of space on the webpage!Timmerryn <A HREF="http://pantheon.keenspace.com" TARGET=_blank>http://pantheon.keenspace.com</A>

<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>No, it's my comic! And Branko's, ofcourse.
A shame I didn't get around to making nice connections between the text balloons, but I'm glad the ballons themselves at least don't look too bad.And yes, my comic is too big too. And I didn't even use colour, or compensate by using big blotches of black, and Tamlin doesn't quite look straight at his victim.But look at all the fiddly little detail!------------------
