Hmmm. Having a bad case of Pastel. Better hair though! Try, try again....

The hair looks about as good as any I've seen, Atomic. She does look somewhat aged in the face, though. I guess having friends who think ripping your heart out of your body is funny will do that to you.

The hair looks great, Atomic. But she does look like being a celebrity is taking it's toll on her...
How time intensive is the new hair?

Set shading (hue +/-) and lighten/darken, then drew narrow lighten lines along hair flow, smudge with large bristle brush. Ditto hue edges. About 10 minutes, tops for lite lines and smudging. Threw some darken lines in as well, smudged similarly.

Cool, I may have to play with that today...

Here's a simple, very stylized impression of what Nudge may have seen glaring at her this week.

Have some ideas about further things to do with this, but will need to flex my GIMP muscles a bit to see if I can pull 'em off.

That would get my attention!

Yup. Followed by my need to get a change of pants.

Work in progress...

COOL!!! Well, not precisely, considering lava. But you know what I mean.

Another impression of Monica, gone darkly glyph-happy.

I took Monica's basic outline from the "Guard Dogs" strip, and added a bit of this and that and the other...

That's pretty neat Dave! I love that background you put her against...

You should add Anakin crawling up the side in the background.

I was hoping to keep it a surprise but I've hit a wall on my project. Instead of a GIF, this time it was going to be a full 30fps video with sound. I have all the animation frames and sound files ready but putting it together is proving a challenge. MonkeyJam is an OK beginner program for compiling animations but it can only load a single audio file with no controls. The other programs I've tried seem to have similar issues. Does anyone know of a free (or inexpesive commercial) program with as many of the following features as possible?

• make a video from individual pictures files (BMP, PNG, ect)
• supports different framerates (30fps at least, 29.97 even better)
• change how many frames each image is displayed for (needed so one picture can be shown longer than others without having to use copies)
• load multiple audio files that can be started (and stopped) at any point in the timeline

I've edited a few videos using VideoPad, but I haven't done anything too fancy with it. Still, I'm pretty sure it can do what you need it to do. Also, free version for non-commercial use; can't go wrong there.

Cool, I'll check it out tomorrow*. I guess I could output the AVI from MonkeyJam and add audio to it after if necessary.

*starting a new job tomorrow and won't be able to spend all night on this kind of stuff as I have been the past few months

Good luck on the new job...

A bit more of it...



One of these days I'll remember to save it as I go along to show the steps...

Dave -- Lovely!

shadowinthelight -- Also good luck on the job and the project! Don't have any video suggestions, but I'm looking forward to seeing your work.

Jabberwonky - Off to a great start! Keep going!

I am liking all these submissions!
