rickgriffin wrote:Well what I've started doing in these cases is a lightbox transfer, though only for the sketch; shine a light under the paper, trace the image onto a card, then trace the card onto the next panel.

I've been thinking of getting a 1ft by 1 ft piece of plexiglass and gluing it to some 2x2 scraps and adding a few LEDs. I just don't draw enough to take the time, though. Plus, I'm ok with just a clipboard and two sheets of paper. (one with the original and one with the trace.) the trouble I have is trying to keep the proportions right when I try to break the character from the original. For example, I downloaded "2012-04-06-the-proposal-i-mean-proposition" for a shot of Karishad I'm using for a fanart trace, then I flipped the image so second-panel Karishad is looking to the left. I used MS Paint to remove the color, and then enlarged the 'sketch' that was left, and printed it out. I can get a decent trace of his face that way, but I'm having trouble because I want his arms held outward. And moving his shoulders and arms from a down position to a straight-out position is throwing off the proportions when I draw it. I'm getting closer to what I want, though. Eventually, I'm going to take several drawings and layer them so that Peanut and Grape are sitting on a rocket-ship, and Karishad will be standing with a robotic character just inside the TARDIS. I got the idea a couple months back in a poetry piece I put on the forums. Once it's done, I'll be using that as my new avatar pic, and posting all the sequence drawings on my Deviant Art page. Any pointers would be appreciated.

Holy fish Jata is really tall

and i thought Miles was the biggest normal being in Housepets.

Also wow, it seems that Uncle Deadeye is the alpha male, that or he just has Guts

By the Way the name Deadeye sounds like a name of a pirate.
Hmmmm.... a blind wolfpirate....

In Re all the discussions about where Babylon Gardens is located: I was under the impression it was in Colorado somewhere. I don't recall if that comes from the comic or just from one of a gazillion discussions...

Great Deadeye, he doesn't need to speak to express himself and goes directly to the final point.

Well, surely there are worth reasons to don't like Jata.

I've spent a few years in New Mexico: It's high enough in Santa Fe and Albuquerque to get snow, more often in the former than the latter. We didn't get snowed in or anything, but it was a foot deep at times.

Argent · Post by **Argent** » Sat Sep 21, 2013 5:17 am

Alabama is unlikely, just a corner is in the 9 hour range, and that doesn't give any time for surface road travel to get to the farm from the freeway.

I'm not sure Pete can draw this well, what with those claws.

Either way, I hope our Rick never changes, just evolves to be EVEN better.

I'm reminded of something from an episode of Sabrina the Teenage Witch. Sabrina's aunt Zelda called someone a buffoon. Then her other aunt Hilda said, "When you're that buff, you can put up with a lot of oon."
