And as far as I know, that's all the completely ready for updating art. If I missed some of your art, finished, formatted, and completely ready to get on the site (size checked, transparency, all colors done, everything, completely ready.) please, add it to this thread. Please try to keep the comments low so that brad can sort through all this.

The kitchen background is out of scale. Observe:

That's one fucking HUGE oven!

The trick with background is to remember that people are only half as tall as the frame, so anything like a table or a kitchen benchtop has to be waist-high or so to the characters, and therefore only in the bottom quarter of the background image.

Sucks, I know, especially since background based on photos are never taken at that kind of scale.

Dude. Look up "kitchen", "my kitchen", "new kitchen", "our kitchen", "the kitchen", etc on Google and find me a better photo. Because there aren't. That's the best I could find with a decent looking stove. I agree, this background is wrong and crappy. But we need a kitchen background and nobody else is making one, except Choad. And he's going real, real slow. I just figured this would be something that would work until someone managed to make an actual good one.

Here's a few other tries:

I realized, rather than arguing with you, since you're right, I could just try to fix it somehow with my shitty source material.. probably still doesn't work... but we do need a kitchen background.. oh well.

Okay I've spent the past 45 minutes adding art and still haven't gotten it all.

Stuff I put online: all the new squidrabies stuff. Injokester's stuff (now in an injokester category). DragonXero's character of himself & phreaky's character. The trek "beaming up" graphic.

Question: are all the anime style characters by HCRoyall? And should some of them be in the forumusers category?

The only stuff I'm not sure whether I'll add:

- alternate pose of fishhand (just seems like his mouth isn't yellow anymore, the pose isn't different)
- matchstick man (kinda blocky, not sure what use he'd be.)
- the art/gallery background (seems a little uh... loud. and there's no floor.)
- kitchen background (no floor, out of proportion.)

I'll work on adding the rest later.

All the anime style guys are mine. The forum users I don't really care where they go; put them in with the rest or make a forumusers2 folder or something if you want to separate them.

The nonforumuser ones are Harrison, Jer, Amy, Kim, and soon to be Remy as well, though DexX was giving them various facial expressions and I don't think he's done yet.

i made the match stick man, i was thinking he could be used with the fire fighters, the fire prop or who knows what else...it is a bit blocky but i mean, a match stick really is all just blocky in general, i could maybe give him different arms and hands or create a match stick man with a real match and my digital camera and edit it in fireworks 8 or photoshop.

Big Frank:

HCRoyal already did one of Big Frank in his style, but I figure this one's different enough that it won't hurt. I promised Frank I'd fix up the character I did for him a while back. I'd prefer this one in the Injokester category and HC's with the forum users if nobody has any objections.

if i had an optical mouse i could probably make some drawing attempts without having to use shapes, but the ball in my mouse is picky about moving with small movements.

that girl holding the golf club would be my favorite female on the site if she gets added. Amy would probably be 2nd. i like them all since they were recolored, but especially them since we're short on female characters

i liked these 4 Vigodas so much, i went ahead and formatted them for stripcreator. hope Injokester doesn't mind

Ape Vigoda

Abe Centaur

Abe Pez

No! Brad, please don't add these.

None of them are any good! They all need to be re-drawn. All of those ones were done in MSpaint at 100%, what I've been doing is blowing them up to 400% and re-tracing all my lines, cleaning up any problems, re-shading Abe's head, then adding a stroke outline and resizing them in Photoshop.

I'll get to some of the Abe pics a bit later, once they're re-drawn I'll format them. Some are no good- the centaur is too big for SC, and if it's resized then the body is way too small. Probably the same with the gorilla. I really don't see them getting much use on the site anyway.

Final pose for Bunnyman:

The ones with the axe are probably a bit limited in their use, but this should give the character a bit of depth.

the centaur is already resized above per SC specs, as they all are. though if i could just pick one to add it would be Ape Vigoda. he comes right after bunnyman as my favorite of yours

anyway, sorry i didn't check with you first

The centaur is he right size for the site, but not in relation to other characters. The proportions of his body are about 1/3 of the other characters. I might be able to do it if I crop the legs, re-draw the tail so it comes up over the horse's back, and move the spear to an almost vertical position.

The ape should be fine (and really easy to do come to think of it, since I've already got a pre-made head), but the body needs a LOT of work before it'll be ready.

Hey, I'm not worried about that, it's just that my old art was pretty damn crappy. I'll show you what I mean in a bit, when I do the gorilla.

quote:

I just gotta smooth them out. The gorilla I'll do because it's easy, the centaur I just like, the robot might get some use since we don't have any half man/half robots. I can't see anyone using "Abe Vigoda, Human Pez Dispenser" though.

Brad, I don't know if you'll want to use this one or not, it's pretty weird. These guys seem to want more Abe though.

Ape Vigoda?

Too cornball perhaps... (I prefer Abe, King of the Gorillas).

The thing he's hanging of is supposed to be both a tree and a swinging vine, I left it fairly neutral so it would work as either depending on the context of of the comic.

Does the vine/tree need any work? I left it plain to accentuate Abe's adorable fluffiness.
