Earlier on I was just going to have her be completely covered by flesh-colored make-up, which would have been more of an exact reversal of normal Kylie, but while coloring the picture the “reverse Joker” idea came up.
Thats so true, Fritz. Plus it harkens back to the episode where they see a picture of her in middle school as a cheerleader(while they’re in her abandoned middle school), when now she’s clearly not the type and if she had never left that niche in school her flip side would look like the usual version of her we all know. Great jobs with them, man.
Indeed. I actually found the episode before I logged on. If EGB had come back for another season they could have brought him back as a reoccurring villain. hint hint
Grife, I haven’t updated this thread in this long?
If you peruse the Ectozone art pages, you may notice some differences. I spent a few weeks in February and March modifying and semi-“remastering” the stock pictures I use. The tan/grey/beige flight suits have been changed to a darker, more accurate color. The blues I used for black metal and plastic have been darkened. The flight suits of the original Ghostbusters have been adjusted–back when I first scanned in the pictures six years ago, I was trying to match hand colored pictures that, in turn, were colored in the days before the internet, and photoshop software capable of isolating and duplicating colors. Another change has been the standardization of equipment in the picture (what I basically did was remove the packs drawn into the hardcopies, and now drop in a standard picture. It’s now easier to swap in different packs–if I wanted to see what Andy Harness looked like with a Mark 2 pack, I could do that in about two minutes)
I also did a little remastering on some of the “Earth-2” versions of the Ghostbusters. You can actually see the most notable one here on GBFans:
Until early this year, I had a ten year old computer running Windows 98. It finally gave up the ghost, and I managed to inherit a Windows Vista machine from my Mom.
Being a far more up to date computer, I was finally able to download TheGimp photoprocessing software. I mean, hey, I have a gimpy leg, right? It fits me.
Never being one to leave well enough alone, I dug out “Christmas with the Spenglers” from GB.Nuts and redid the letters and word balloons. Even better, I was able to add a glow effect to the Crimebuster trap’s laser grid.
Oh yeah. I back up everything in my folders every three months, and some stuff even more frequently. I also was fortunate in that I had a little bit of warning that the W98 was about to bite the dust, so got off everything that hadn’t been backed up yet.
If I lost anything, it wasn’t anything I’ve missed in ten months.
And the trap glow does make it a lot better. The ability to do glow effects like lightsabers or proton beams better than my old software is one of the reasons I went looking for something better.
