~+[Wars of the Art]+~ **Art War II!**

[Splat]

Was gonna save this one a week or two but can't be bothered.

Not bad for 'Paint'...
I've been working at this pretty much since I got up this morning, and finished about 5 this afternoon.
It involved... Drawing Rosemary's head and hair in this new position, drawing her eyes, giving her sunglasses, drawing her body, drawing her dress, fixing her sunglasses, sorting colours of her dress, drawing her arms, getting the sword from the previous 'Kill Carl' image, fixing the sword, putting the sword in her hand, fixing her dress, drawing her veil, colouring her veil, removing her sunglasses and giving her eyes, changing her eyes, getting colours of the background, fixing Rosemary's position, fixing the positions of the background colours, colouring the veil to match background, making blurred lighting effects on background (Argh!), making blurred lighting effects on her dress (ARGH!!!), fixing the dress, fixing the veil, finding 4 suitable fonts, finding colour for the small text, writing and placing all the text, finding the little symbols, placing little symbols (so small that they're almost invisible anyway) and all the finishing touches like fixing the frame and checking everything.

What would I have done if my laptop had wrecked the image at the end, like it did for that Turtle HQ one?

That doesn't include all the things I tried and scrapped, like altering the lighting on her dress and so on.
I'll make a response to Carnix sometime this weekend maybe.

(oh, and my 'd' key isn't working properly for some odd reason)

EDIT: I suddenly really wish I'd saved a copy without text. Might post Rosemary's wedding dress without the lighting at some point, too.

EDIT: Fixing her veil again.

[Splat]

Guys, you know you can post here without putting up a comic?

Reply to Carnix.



No one is safe from Carl!
Also, check thumbnails for previously promised picture of Rosemary in her wedding dress, and also a bonus recolour (cus everyone loves recolours) turning the dress into a ballgown of some description.

The original pink pacman ghost was known in England and America as Pinky. He may have escaped his game/been cloned but surely the name would stick with him...

As for the last frame, that's the purple-mess being shoved up against the door right? I got a reply for that. Can't do it now though, not long until I leave for school.

[Splat]

Yes, but what you've failed to realise is that UltraSafe in fact kidnapped his ghosts from one of the dodgy, unofficial pacman clones that get posted on the internet and such, and so the ghosts are not actually the original Blinky, Pinky, Inky and Clyde; they merely live in their shadows as the First Protectors of the Great Dot Collection.

Somewhere on the internet there's a very happy, very safe, and most likely very obese pacman going round maze after maze eating dots without a ghost in sight.

Carnix, we had this discussion two pages ago.

And yes, it is the purple mess smeared across the door. You'll have to take t up with Carl.

[Carnix]

Carnix, we had this discussion two pages ago.

What? You expect me to remember two pages ago? Do you not know me at all?!

[Moosh da Outlaw]

Random quickie.





Carl?

Showing emotion?

ITS ARMAGEDDON

[Splat]

EWW, NO 1 WANTD 2 SE GOSTS SPOON!!!11111!!!1


Right, the last time I gave you rep? Cancel it, forget it, and stick in this post instead. *LHETRSOD (Laughing Hard Enough To Risk Serious Organ Damage)*

Yes, I made that up myself.
Response to come.

[Splat]

I don't know; there have been far too many double posts in this thead recently
The fade effect at the top represents distance; it's a long corridor.



Who ya gonna call?!

The 'Chiller' font wasn't on my laptop, but it was on my old computer, and indeed I used it in WOTA1. I really wanted it for this image so I google-searched it; I found a site to download it from but they charged £30! Then I found another that charged £15, then another that gave it for free. All I can say is, good luck to the first site...
I liked the effect of Pink Ghost's rage I also liked the transformation panel. I got paranoid over whether or not I'd got the right Ghostbuster and ended up asking a friend who's a film-buff.

Poor Rosemary; another chance lost to die nobly for her beloved...

[Splat]

Guys, it's been a week! I've even made another comic! Where is everyone?



Is this a forum thread or an oil painting?!

[Oddey]

I can't think of anything that would go good to this so... I just have to sit on the sideline watching you run past on rollerskates begging me to try even if my leg is broken. Darn your rollerskates. But here's a quickie.

[Carnix]

Don't worry Splat I'm still here, I just had shit loads of graphics coursework to do for the past 2 weeks - BUT IT'S FINALLY DONE!
Yea, that means I'll be posting later today with a new side of the plot (that's right - me with a plot) so just sit tight (or fail to kill Carl) until then.
================================
And thus:

[Splat]

What?! No more fuzzy messes??

FAIL!

Here's a quickie (and my first quickie in ages...)



Next Rosemary image to come soon(ish).
Good to know you people are still around!

edit: Argh, forgot the moustache...
*Sigh* Well if anyone asks... I ate it.

[Carnix]

This was supposed to be a quickie... didn't turn out so quick...

[Splat]

I promised myself I wouldn't make any more about the duck for a while.

Go me.



I have just this day aquired many, many, many interesting new fonts.

[Oddey]

The fuzzy messes? Gone? I don't think so. I couldn't resist another time travel. I would have made it a Delorrean one if I had had the time I wanted.

[Moosh da Outlaw]

Random quickie.

[Carnix]

Where to begin...

I think I'll start at the end since I have little time.

Although its great that through the brilliant power of shortcuts the fuzzy messes have been placed on the verge of returning, I'm a little uncertain as to when the fuzzy-purple-mess-with-red-eyes became the fuzzy-blue-mess-with-red-eyes... However, I'm sure that will sort itself out...

My replies: ...Coming soon

[Splat]

Omigosh: serious comic alert!

Rules of the card game featured in this comic:
The premise is to get as close to 21 without going over 21. aces are worth 1 or 11, number cards are worth their numbers and picture cards are all worth 10. Everyone is dealt two cards and can then look at their cards before deciding to hold or twist, aka draw another card. They can take as many as they want to raise their score as long as they never exceed 21. When done they can 'stick' and stay at their current score. If they go over 21 they 'fold'.
Being dealt a picture and an ace allows you to become dealer and beats almost anything, even another 21... Except a five-card-flush; getting exactly 21 with 5 cards; that really does beat anything.
Otherwise the person with the number closest to 21 without going over it wins the hand.

In case anyone gets confused, Rosemary intentionally plays to lose in this comic.



Hope that wasn't too confusing. It was hard to draw!
Sorry its not big on jokes, but it forwards the plot! The next one might be serious, too, after which I'll definately get funny again.
No worries.

(Hands up everyone who saw that coming.)

[dripik]

In other words, black jack... Wait, what? MicroD featured in an external comic? How can that be even possible?

Incredulity aside, I'm grateful. I shall make a reply, when I have the time (rare occasions these days). I'll leave the talking part to Rosemary, MicroD will leave the casino in a fitting manner first.

[Phylum]

anyone mind if crudely drawn stick-man enters the fray?

[Carnix]

[Phylum]

sorry there's no general McDuckducktheduck, i had no internet when i made this and i can't draw ducks.



carnix, love the avatar(and everything about the fuzzy messes)

[Moosh da Outlaw]

Lol, nice avvie Carnix. And Phylum, you might want to read back a few pages to catch up on the plot.

Okay, here's a sort-of-plot-moving-comic. Plus I made a sigpic of Carl, featuring his super destructive abilities.

EDIT: Oops. There's a glitch with the two squirtles a few of the panels down, which is strange because it wasn't like that when I saved it. >> Just ignore it please.

[Carnix]

Its good to know the plot still moves. I don't think that made much sense to me...

Anyways I likes ya new sig its very detailed - did you do that on paint?

[Moosh da Outlaw]

I made it on sutaro.com/oekaki, which is just an oekaki site. I signed up just so I could use their advanced paint program.

Sorry if that was confusing. It sort of left off after the comic a page back where Chester explains why Dennis hates people talking about relationships in front of him. I kind of rushed it. >>

[Splat]

Well I understood it (and lolled) (though what the dickens happened in panel 5?). This is going to be interesting; Rosemary is very close to forming her own Mistress Plan (as opposed to Master Plan; female empowerment wot).
Ju-u-ust waiting for Dripik.

(Yes it's Black-jack, but I know at least three names for that game and one different game also called black jack.)

Moosh, your banner is amazing and I recommend you post it in this thread for posterity

[dripik]

The plot shall continue! I've finished my response to Splat's comic. We agreed that the theming should be noir this time, which I hopefully managed to grasp.



Last frame's epic, IMVHO.

[Phylum]

The second frame may look lighter, but i assure you, it isn't.

(this showed up as a thumbnail last time...)

It's an offer moosh, take it or leave it.

[Carnix]

Well this plot with MacroD looks interesting I think the fuzzy-messes should be present (well when arn't they?).

[Moosh da Outlaw]

Made this before seeing the last comic. And Phylum, my computer isn't letting me see your comic for some reason, so i'll try to see it and come up with a reply later. ^^
