Title: It all looks so different...
Post by: bloodreaper on August 03, 2008, 09:18:00 PM
Oh.

Having seen all the new PE pages while you were drawing them, I never bothered to look at them on the site.

This was a mistake. They look much better against their intended background.

Did you gaussian those shading layers after I saw them last, or do your shadows just look that much more subtle on a black background?

I haven't gauss'd any of them except the one you saw me do it with.  The intended background really does make that much of a difference.

The things you never think about, eh, Blood?

Well, I realised that those translucent parts would look blacker on a back ground, but the way the colors contrast with a black back-ground really pops out the colors and shapes, so you don't notice the hard shadows and whatnot.

The only drawback is that the background in harder to make out, so all you carefully detailed knick-knacks go to waste.

I'd noticed, but that's a resizing issue more than anything else.

I might have to post a larger view of the shelves, sometime, so everybody can see all that work...

Ooh, Do I smell a wallpaper in the future?

hmmm...

Maybe you do...

You put way too much work into putting cool things on those shelves, for people to just see a bunch of blurry blobs.

This man drew you an eel mounted on a plaque and a tiny model church, and an ornate staue of a dragon, people. Bow to him.   :)

Great, now they'll want to see them...

Well, I suppose I did want them to...

Hmm...the original bit is pretty small.  I tried enlarging it, but it got...blobby.  I'll probably put it up in both sizes, but we'll see.

You'll just have to re-draw the whole thing in high res.    :)

Heh!

We're just giving him more and more to do, aren't we?   :P

I shall assume that was meant in jest...

Well you don't have to, and actually updating your comics is more important, but I for one would like to see it.

Title: Re: It all looks so different...
Post by: Faith on August 25, 2008, 08:06:00 PM
Me, too, but then I suspect you knew that.
Maybe next you find some time to spare?..
Title: Re: It all looks so different...
Post by: Dragyn on August 26, 2008, 05:19:00 AM
Time to spare, huh?  There's an interesting thought...

Well, we'll see.  Even I never know what I'm doing until I just up and do it....
Title: Re: It all looks so different...
Post by: Faith on August 26, 2008, 11:22:00 PM
Heh.   ;D

I expect that'll be after the next update or so.

Hey, is there a part of that shelf that is further back than the rest of it, or something?...
Title: Re: It all looks so different...
Post by: Dragyn on August 27, 2008, 07:42:00 AM
There are several shelves, which are staggered slightly.
Title: Re: It all looks so different...
Post by: Faith on August 27, 2008, 11:55:00 AM
Oh. 'Cuz one appeared to there at one point, and gone at the next...
Wait, we're talking avout the same ones, right?
Title: Re: It all looks so different...
Post by: Dragyn on August 28, 2008, 08:52:00 AM
Uh...I thought we were...
Title: Re: It all looks so different...
Post by: Gryphor on August 28, 2008, 01:20:00 PM
there really small   ???
Title: Re: It all looks so different...
Post by: Faith on August 28, 2008, 07:56:00 PM
Heh.   :)

Well, the ones on the very end of the shelf. It's a different section of shelf, I think.
Title: Re: It all looks so different...
Post by: Dragyn on August 29, 2008, 07:31:00 AM
Yes, they're behind the front shelf.  Separate shelves.
Title: Re: It all looks so different...
Post by: Gryphor on August 29, 2008, 08:14:00 AM
You are right it does go behind it
Title: Re: It all looks so different...
Post by: Faith on August 29, 2008, 09:22:00 PM
I wondered.
(Sorry, just checking. Ya' never know, after all, I might be just losing it... ... ...)

Is that taller item on that set-back shelf one of the ones Bloodreaper mentioned?
Title: Re: It all looks so different...
Post by: Dragyn on September 02, 2008, 05:42:00 AM
Yeah, if we're looking at the same one.
Title: Re: It all looks so different...
Post by: Faith on September 02, 2008, 08:38:00 PM
Is it the dragon one?
Title: Re: It all looks so different...
Post by: Dragyn on September 03, 2008, 05:26:00 AM
Indeed.
Title: Re: It all looks so different...
Post by: Faith on September 03, 2008, 03:00:00 PM
Heh.   ;D

Bloodreaper's right, you need to make them bigger if you find the time.   :P
