Archimedes

Wednesday, November 21st, 2007

I apologize for the poor color contrasts on today’s page, gang.  The Poster Edges filter doesn’t play real well with dark pictures, and I’m having a difficult time figuring out the Adjustment Levels filter in order to achieve a good balance of light and dark that will let me use Poster Edges effectively while still retaining the gloomy atmosphere of the scene.  I’ll figure it out, though – I promise.

Oh, and what’s up with that Archimedes reference?  Viper obviously wants it, and probably to no good end.  I’ll let you speculate awhile, though, on what – or who – exactly Archimedes is and why Viper is looking for it. 

Dropping Poster Edges

Wednesday, November 21st, 2007

Starting with Friday’s page, I’m going to start producing the Reclaimer comic sans Poster Edges filter.  I’ve found that it really doesn’t work with low-light shots or with objects not in the immediate foreground.  Those objects end up just looking blurry, which in the long-run hinders both the effectiveness of the storytelling and the enjoyment of the reader.  I expect this will make the comic more fun for everyone involved.
