This comic took me longer than any other one so far, but it is easily the one I am most proud of so far.  I had the idea to riff on the opening scene of Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark, but I took it a step further and decided to take backgrounds from the actual film for the comic.  Below are the screencaps I took and what I did to them (and more discussion follows):

Keen eyes and photoshoppers will probably be able to see how this was done (as well as the mistakes), but to put it simply, it was a lot of copy, paste, clone tool, etc.  I had a lot of fun doing this part since I haven’t done photo-manipulation in a while now.

Also, look at the shading on Jasper and Bo (and Guster).  It’s all gradienty and ish.  I felt it was in keeping with the more realistic tone of this comic.  Oh and check it, I used a white border this time simply because the black blended in too much to the frames.  Exciting, right?

Until next week…
