All those years have paid off! My art is now perfect!"<br /><br />Then I'll clutch my chest and drop dead.Bob Canadahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07938039612223083995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4046751414407003862.post-91184487388482766752009-06-22T08:51:42.177-05:002009-06-22T08:51:42.177-05:00these are super fun! thanks for sharing these!!!
i...these are super fun! thanks for sharing these!!!<br />i actually kind of like the look of these, sort of retro saturday morning cartoon look. ok so if these are from 20 years ago, and with the stuff we can do now - what will our stuff look like 20 years from now?Bradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14778059633807688591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4046751414407003862.post-62711836918506383392009-06-20T13:49:28.160-05:002009-06-20T13:49:28.160-05:00Thanks! Looking back at these, what's amazing ...Thanks! Looking back at these, what's amazing to me is that in each case, every part of the drawing was done on the same layer. There were no layers back then like Photoshop has now. So I couldn't do the background as a separate piece on one layer, then draw the figure separately on another layer. Nope, it was all on the same layer. <br /><br />It's been too long to remember exactly how I drew this stuff, but I suppose I drew the background first and then the figure over it. I'm sure there was lots of erasing and redrawing.<br /><br />I think there was only one undo back then too, not multiples like we have today. It's amazing I was ever able to draw a recognizable shape at all.Bob Canadahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07938039612223083995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4046751414407003862.post-79608462790579541402009-06-20T12:38:48.149-05:002009-06-20T12:38:48.149-05:00Bob: There is some great stuff here (and yes, I we...Bob: There is some great stuff here (and yes, I well remember the limits of the available technolgy. How fast things change in the digital world, right?). My favorites are the egghead general (and our "I have no idea what's going on here" comment, which made me laugh outloud), and the "I'm a Germ!" How many can remember these days of computing? I remember my first computer, which had a monster hard drive of 35 megs (I spared no expense and went huge!).Mykal Bantahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12148489896145024134noreply@blogger.com
