I like the melancholy, everyday feel this one has. With this strip, I discovered the absolute limit of my computer's RAM. The actual size of these when I'm working on them is huge, about 5000x6000 pixels, and applying a filter over that large a file while running itunes, 2 IM programs and Safari was asking a bit much. Just as I was finishing up panel three, PhotoShop crashed. I had not saved. I was sad. So I had to redo it, but happily, it turned out even better. Panel three is one I am particularly happy with. I came up with the rain effect on my own, and I think it turned out great. My confidence with the program is growing with each strip, and it's really been fun learning and seeing the results. |
