298: Mind Job - Doopliss's Mind

on Nov. 13, 2006

This update came later than I wanted to because AERO THE ACROBAT IS AN ANNOYINGLY HARD GAME! >_>

That game is where the background of Doopliss's mind came from. Why did I HAVE to have that background?

I felt that it was the only background I could find that could really represent his mind. I believe his mind wouldn't take MUCH of a physical form, but would still appear disorganized with his thoughts intertwining with each other. I needed to have that sort of thing going for him :P

Today's comic probably wouldn't have been made the way it is if I hadn't played the game Psychonauts… and I'm glad I have because the way the inside of a person's mind works will be greatly influenced by that game. If you haven't played Psychonauts, you should… it's an amazing game. And a lot of Green's brain scans in the future will allude to the workings of that game.

Today's comic… was FUN to do. Having to rip the web sprites from Donkey Kong Country II, then make them purple, and bug them out a bit… and then Green's speed trail movements were two of the most fun parts of the comic.

Anyway, enjoy!
