Amen. Spooky too. That's a long way to fall.

What manner of stand-alones are you considering?

Definitely! The authorities in Abu Dhabi want them healthy enough for the Major Injuries they're going to get when they return home.

I'd say go with either the red nose, or the white stripes, but not both. ('seems the link to the bigger pic. is broken)

Somewhere, Charles Darwin is smiling.

Works for me.

...and don't despair. Remember, comics are created one panel at a time. When I was honing my drawing skills in preparation for comics, I'd generate pages and pages of sketches. Then I'd get a large pad of tracing paper and lay out a page at 200%. Step#1: pencil in the text. If you've got narrative, that goes in first. Anything left over is for art panels. Tenatively, lay out the panels. If there's Thought or Speech balloons, pencil them in. [or put them in the topmost layer in Photoshop.] Now, get your screenies and start sliding them under the panel spaces. Enlage, reduce, crop as needed. Adjust panels as needed. Pretty soon a page comes together. Then do another. Before you know it, you've got a story.

They'll have a fixed amount deducted from their pay checks each week until...

Terrific dust-up with the Gothas, but...the Moody Blues?

If it's 'way too big, the resolution is probably set too high. Screen resolution is 72 dpi, and we always sent 300 dpi art to the printer. So, in a sense, high res. can be a good thing. I'd say leave it high. One can always reduce later, but you can't increase dpi. Burning Beard: I think the same would apply to getting screen shots. You'll get better posterizations from highest res. pics. than lower.

7"x10" is traditional, since the original comics were printed on Newspaper presses. It's your basic Tabloid sheet folded one more time. Still...this is the 'net and we're not constrained by either tradition or standard magazine display racks.

I've often puzzled over this possible scenario. It seems to be the same as Dogfight.

Jammer: If you survive the war, there's definitely a place for you in Hollywood.

"Flyboys" was to WWI what "Memphis Belle" was to WWII.

...especially like the layout on the bottom two pages. [a little tough to read.]

Flying out of Bertincourt, after clearing away a gaggle of Strutters, I did some 'tourist flying' and came across this place. A sharply pointed lake is probably a resevoir, and seems to have a long, straight canal leading to it. Anyone know where I am, and what this is?

Yes, I think you're right. It's not quite the same shape even though they're both pointed at the end..

That's the one! It even has the long straight canal leading up to it. I went down and took a closer look, There's a water texture on the canal. Farther down the line there are bridges across it, but where it joins [?] the lake, there's nothing. I expected a dam, or a hydroelectric station. I've heard that the Germans experimented with mobile bodies of water in 1917 in order to re-deploy seaplane units from the coast. This might be one of them. [re:the small arrow. It looks for all the world like your wingman is flying a Bleriot.]

I feel some very deep immersion coming on! Can I keep the last turkey and take it home to the Mess?

Pol: What program do you use to model objects?

'Certainly wouldn't want to pester the Devs, [LOL] what with all they have on their plate, but it would be nice if there was a Taube on the list...

I'll take a copy! Where do I send the cheque?

Now that would be livin' large! In fact, it is probably the only thing that could tempt me out of comics retirement.

And how cool is that? Thanks. Can't wait to try it.

It is a problem, tho' if there's a way around it, it's not been discussed here.
