Alone by the lake

[Captain Spam]

Hey. I've got meself another full-page full-color pic, and THIS time, it's got a background and everything! Best one I've got yet!

This one's at least a bit more moody than my normal lot of pics. It's Phinn from <a href="http://dementia.keenspace.com">my webcomic</a>, sitting by a moonlit lake. Complete with shadows, a dark moonlit hue to the whole thing, reflections, and, well, here, just take a look:

Mad propz to Nemesis and MarsDragon (you don't know her) for helping out with getting all the effects right!

Whadya think, sirs?

[Radium]

Very good looking, and nice shading and reflections. The moon looks somewhat like a glowing potato, though.

[Batty Buddy]

Que Passa!!!!

Looks kind of melencholy(Not sure if I spelled that right...), but all around a really cool effect!

[Captain Spam]

Glad everyone likes. Took me bloody long enough...

Radium: Yeah. And? :-) I didn't want to make the moon a perfect circle thing, so I made it a bit oddly-shaped. Potato-like.

Batty: Melancholy, yeah, that's the word I was looking for. I dunno, something more like a darkish sorta emotional pic or something like that.

[Radium]

Yes, but even a moon in it's gibbous phase has one round side.
Unless, of course, there are multiple earths... Yesssss... that's where the chanel changer always goes! And we never noticed it because... it's... camoflage!

[Captain Spam]

Well, there's also the fact I'm not perfect at drawing moons... :-)

[Radium]

It's not that complicated; if it's difficult you can just trace something round and erase off a sliver =P.

I like it. It's got that moody seriousness to it but at the same time has a cartoon-ish flavor.

And who says the moon can't be shaped like a potatoe? This is art...you are allowed to do anything you want.

Que Passa!!!!

If moon was potato, me think me would be
Happiest Batty, you ever see
Me put on a spacesuit, and up through the night
Me ride in a rocket to go take a bite
Me take bite from here, me take bite from there
And pretty soon, me bite everywhere
Me eat with both hands, no need fork or spoon
Me chew it all up, until there's no moon...
If moon was potato, it wouldn't be fine,
Because if me ate it, then it wouldn't shine
Me go to the window and look up at night
But no little moon beams would give me their light
So me not want to say it, but apparently so,
It lucky the mooooon is noooooot
A potato...
(Apologies to Jim Henson, Frank Oz, and Cookie Monster)


Me like Potato moon. Look tasty... One time, thanks to a group of clouds, I saw a moon that looked kind of like an acorn...

[Radium]

I always liked mashed potatos more.

[Captain Spam]

Y'know, Batty, that song DOES put a different spin on the old movie title "Paper Moon"... :-)

[Iam Canadian]

There is no moon! It IS a flying glowing potato! And...the pic's pretty good. Kinda a nice mixture of cartoonishness and emotion.

[Ducky]

Spammie! That is SO cool. Wow.

[ShadowGPW]

Spam's Style is like no other human!

[Captain Spam]

[ShadowGPW]

[Captain Spam]

Well, I know the bluegill can make a pretty wicked rendition of Picasso's <i>Persistence of Memory</i>... :-)

Glad ye like it, Shad!

<small>/me goes back up a few posts... Or was that "Paper <b>Tiger</b>"? Hm...</small>

[defalcon]

It's cool. Looks all atmospheric but it's still cartoony. :) I like the reflection.

Shadow, what's with the Cardcaptor picture in your sig? o.O

[ShadowGPW]

Oh you mean that little sakura? Well just wanted a small inocent anime girl in my signature. She look cool :)

C.S.: yer welcome :D

[Captain Spam]

Oh, before I forget... glad ye both like it, Ducky and defalcon. :-)
