I'm still tweaking the nighttime lighting. I think it looks pretty good now, and this might be the way I continue. Thanks for all who lent me a critical eye. I think I'll change the previous page to look like this one and use this method for future night scenes.

Recently, I decided to watch all my Get Smart DVD's again (I'm into season 3 now), and seeing this page, it dawned on me that Get Smart must be the internalized inspiration for how I do my pacing (and maybe some of the ironic dialogue). I based about 90% of my childhood games (would you believe 75%?) on that series, so it makes sense, but I was actually shocked when I saw this page and came to that realization – the Get Smart bad-guys-are-watching musical sting played in my head.

LanceDanger: Thanks. I long for a steady income and health insurance.

Anubis, Tantz, roycemarie, & dueeast: Thanks. I tweaked the technique a little bit for this page. I have a lot of "night" pages coming up, so I want to have a good and consistent method.

ghostrunner: Yeah. They need the patch.

Peipei: Celes is generally pessimistic. -_-

amanda: Copies of keys for modern cars don't work. As an anti-theft device, most cars' ignition will not start without the original key. But Seiko might find some way to make use of them. ~_^

Jonko: Good luck with the hunt. It's not easy, but at least you're in good company.

Metruis: Thanks for the tip. I put it to use on this page. ^_^

DAJB: Thanks. I've been struggling to find work since I graduated in 2007. I used to think it was me (which really hurt my self esteem), but I've decided it's the economy.
