FISTS OF DRAMA
Someone told me it is Natalie Portman’s birthday today. To celebrate, a comic about her character… being… dead.
(Refreshes Userinfo).
Yeah. Whoa-ho guys! 1400? Thank you everyone for visiting.
To answer another question which cropped up a few times in the last batch of comments.
How do I make these?
There are two possible answers.
First, while on break at work I make a little tiny new Adobe Photoshop file and hide it in the very most left-hand corner of my screen. I then draw the little guys with the mouse. Nothing special. They are drawn to size (teenies) in 72 DPI. Because I am a terrible colourist and can’t colour within lines to save my life, I set the drawing layer to “Multiply” and make a new colour layer below and go at it.
The rest is just cheap and easy. The bubbles and boxes are courtesy of Photoshop’s default shape tool set. The whole process maybe takes 8 minutes- but since I have to throw in: finishing up work, exercising, getting home, feeding my fish, walking in circles, dinner, talking on aim, wondering where chocolate is, rearranging itunes, reading, bathing, petting my pets, walking downstairs, forgetting what I am doing, losing my shirt, watching a movie, thinking about flowers, looking around for icecream, remembering something, uploading the file – it sometimes seems to take a bit longer at times.
You can choose to believe this fanciful answer, or, there is this: Midi-Chlorians.
That is all.
