Thanks for the report, Stef. I've gotta check me out one-a these sooner or later. I'd be interested to hear...as I'm one of those folks who draws on a smaller scale anyways. Hoooooooray, insommmmmmnia!
-
Wow...these ARE awesome. Lang's right, that is truly well-drawn hair. Rock on, Nukivaj!

Kiaka Oriosa, people have probably said this in private messages, but generally, if you wish to participate in civil conversation on a messageboard, it's a good idea to a) introduce yourself on the Introductory Thread b) contribute to conversations as they are happening c) post something of substance (e.g. contribute IF…

Another spin on the "brutal art crit" discussion earlier: "How to accept criticism.", a short, incisive piece by the super-talented Jesse Hamm.

(Yep, Hamelin, this is getting a bit unwieldy...) New comjo* site http://comicfoundry.com has what will probably become an ongoing column in which they follow the process of comics artists. This go-around, it's a look at the early-pencils-to-digital-paint process of Danica Novgorodoff on her recent book A Late Freeze. *…

When the internet works your way, will all of our web browsers deliver us drinks with those little plastic pirate swords in them?

...also, this was on the Make: blog recently: how to make a one-side-of-one-page, one-cut minicomic. From the same folks who brought you an interview with the inimitable Lark Pien.

A great tutorial on perspective for technical illustration, found thanks to the Drawn! blog. Kevin Hulsey also has a tutorial on how he made a massive* cutaway illustration of a cruiseliner in Illustrator and Photoshop. * "massive" as in "took 9 hours to export from Illustrator to Photoshop on a G4"

I guess since two other countries have already done that, it'd be high time for the US to up the ante with rappers.

Brilliant, Mario. (Hlavco: see here.)
-
...certainly not whimper-worthy! All you have to do, Paul, is add one line of code. After$brewsters_millions = array_rand($brew_array, $num_brew_bits); put the line$brewsters_millions = array_rand($brew_array, $num_brew_bits);[b]shuffle($brewsters_millions);[/b] and you're in business.
-
DS, I suspect that this is a side effect of the quick-and-dirty use of array_rand() without shuffle() afterward. Should be an easy fix...unless it's better the way it is...?
-
Paul, I just now uploaded a newer version of the code...cleaned up, quicker, and a little more useful. Same location: http://huah.net/junk/brew.zip And there's now functionality in the randomizer to put something in the GET query and change the number of panels in the random comic generated, e.g.,…
-
Done. See in action: http://huah.net/junk/randombrew.php Download: http://huah.net/junk/brew.zip It's a total hack, but all you need to do is copy randombrew.php to your base witchsbrew.org directory and open it. When you add a new comic, you can run nameharvest.php and it will generate a serialized php array that you can…

hahahahaha I agree with Waffles on number three; there should definitely be links between the corresponding archives on the two sites. And I also think it would be fun if guest remixes of the design of the sixthirtyfive remix site were encouraged. I mean, it would ...kind of be like us drawing goatees on "it." But "on it"…
-
If you loved that critique, Stef, be sure to check out the other nine! They're sublime. He even goes to the lengths of searching adult web sites for (clothed) images that match the poses of submitted pinups, just to show the mistakes in anatomy and perspective. The video tutorial is here...and it unzips into a folder with…

Hyung-sun Kim's been comicking for a long time, and while his comics have a tendency to be gleefully crass, he's also got a great tutorials page on his site: http://kungfool.transpect.net/tut/index.htm ...chock full of pages detailing his own technique (on paper and computer), and amazingly thorough (and illustrated!) art…

There are a lot of varying things I found on the internet when looking for character model sheets...but a good starting point is probably this tutorial from Larry Lauria: http://tooninstitute.awn.com/lessonplan/model.htm He really can't draw to follow his own advice, but if you just read the printed words, it's better. I…

Regardless of command lines...here's another comicky walkthtrough to add to the pile. Dean Trippe (of Butterfly, BFFA, and helping-start-the-batgirl-meme* fame) has a process tutorial on how he draws a typical Butterfly webcomic. *No, I'm not going to link to that. Also, don't know how comicky this is, but Disney animator…

Bravo.

Lang, that pun ROCKED.

No one will EVER give you grief for evangelizing Dr. McNinja, Shroom. That comic has consistently more LOLs per mols than any other comic I know!!

You could also use a utility like the free PNGCRUSH on the PNGs after you make them, or use an online compression utility. I've also found knowing what Sub, Adaptive, Paeth and all those filters mean quite helpful, even if Photoshop's support, as DI says, isn't as good. There's also a whole free O'Reilly book on PNGs out…

Also forgot Jerzy Drozd! Jerzy and collaborator Sara Turner have some very detailed walkthroughs of their respective processes (both on paper and on computer) at their MLAT Comics page: Jerzy on Comic Illustration Sara on Comic Coloring If I recall correctly, both are collected from their series of blog posts on the…

Whoa! Thanks for the tip!! The closest store to me...is in New Jersey. But it looks like they're EVERYWHERE in Cali, including a store or two in San Jose. Rock on. Reading Craig Thompson tonight, he references this pen as well. That guy can REALLY wield a brushpen. (Also after reading Thompson: hoo-ray angst!) j

Addendum: K. Thor Jensen salvaged Brian Bolland's digital inking tutorial that was previously lost to the intarweb. The text is oh-so-very-tiny, but the information is quite helpful.

Yep, Mario, $18 is a bit steep. I'm a stalwart wacom+some_art_app_X person, but I think I'll definitely get my money's worth out of it. Granted, I haven't upgraded from my Graphire 1 to an Intuos yet, but this is a whole lot more responsive ...and a bit cheaper! Stef, I was wondering the same things. I know that with the…

they weren't so much "choice links" but more...a googling for getting rid of blue pencils on scan, heh. :D

curse those exclamation points!!!!!!!!!! thanks!
