Minor cleanup, focused on Raven's hair and reducing the jagginess of the background. I don't think I discovered the anti-alias switch on the polygonal lasso until 2007.... which means just about every border that isn't a perfect right angle is doing to need some degree of cleanup. :O

20070724 : Ding removal.

===================================================

Yay, scene complete! It's going to be at least a week - possibly two - before I start on the next one. I know most of what's going on and I know what I want it to look like (which'll make The Edit a bit easier when I hit Chapter Two), but I'm stuck on a couple of points and the usual technique of "get faced and run around drunk" isn't quite working as planned - I've written a hell of a lot of the glue that sticks Zero and Everything Else together, but the bit in between here and there is being pretty stubborn.

Probably because the next scene is going to be lengthy and a bit Different (if I don't cheap out), and lengthy scenes have a tendency to make my brain freeze up and gibber, a lot like pages with a high panel count. Tough stuff.

Over the hump with Zero, at any rate- 10-20 pages left. Hopefully I'll be ready to Edit in May!

15:19 < Arbo> Mind some criticism?

15:19 < Arbo> I think that chick's right leg is a little too high.
15:19 < Arbo> Like.
15:20 < Arbo> Connecting to the hip, too high.
15:20 <@solios> heh.
15:20 <@solios> (old link to a bit explaining that I'm aware of my limited anatomy skills)
15:20 <@solios> :D
15:20 < Arbo> Oh, a self-aware artist. :) Cool.

She looked fine in the pencils. Practice, practice, practice, etc.
