ee! a new page!! wellwellwell, I had taken out the line "plus I'm not one for romance" but then it made the whole page look like king was coming out… which, err, he isn't. so I settled for making the line "I'm not one for romance" really small, a little throwaway line.
at first I wrote this scene to be all dramatic and serious, but these past few pages have seemed a little forced to me, so I gave all the lines a silly spin!! btw, in case you're wondering why king is being silly, it's because he's trying to cheer up tom!! the best way to stop someone from crying isn't to comfort them, it's to make them laugh! at least, that's my opinion, mostly bc I don't like comforting people, it's awwwkkwarrddd!! -_-. (or maybe I'm the awkward one…) anyway, I like how the flowery-toning came out in the fourth panel, so I shall reveal how I did it!! first, I did the gradient like a spotlight on King, and then, I set that tone layer to "Multiply", and then I lasso'd (?) the frame completely and chose the flower-tone I wanted, but then set the color of the tone to white… so it showed up as ghost-flowers!! :D I also fancytoned the ghostly-tom panel.. with that one, though, I just put in a dramatic swirly background, and then a hatched gradient, and then in a separate layer, I outlined tom with a crosshatched shadow so he'd stand out more. heh, it's like a mini-tutorial!! except pretty useless, unless you're like, "gee here I am toning my comic… I wish I could do a spotlight gradient with ghostly flowers in the background of this panel!" heh! as for references, I didn't use any, which you could probably tell by the excess of chibis… :3!
so, today I saw "Superbad"!!! it was, contrary to the name, A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!! of course I am biased, as I have been in love with Michael Cera ever since I first saw Arrested Development (George Michael!! \(^_^)/!!) but anyway, it was one of those rare comedies that never seems to miss a beat… I got that feeling that I get after reading a really engrossing novel, as I left the theatre- that strange sense that you're still in that rich fictional world, that perhaps those characters you've come to know so well will stroll past you in a moment. anyway, if you want to see a hilarious, well-written and -acted movie with unique, likeable characters, SEE SUPERBAD!!! also Seth Rogan is in it!!! *swoons* I love michael cera!! he's such a brill actor! ~_~ I wonder if he's older than me– oof! I just looked him up on IMDB… he's 11 months and one week younger than meeee!!! I'm a would-be cradle robber… oh well, can't be helped! ^_^! ok I keep blabberblabbing, so I'll stop writing now.
anyway, enjoy the page, and see you all on wednesday (unless I finish the page early!! ^.^!!) ooh oh yeah I'm going to NYC tomorrow!! :3 gonna get some thai food… go shopping… live the life!!
oh and of course as usual… VOTE for MEEE on BUZZCOMIX!!! :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D so many happy faces!!
