Hmmmmyep. Not much to say, here.
This page took a lot longer than it ought to have done, as some glitches appear to be cropping up in Photoshop that I’m having trouble ironing out. And God knows, I REFUSE to buy into that Photoshop CC crap, with the monthly payment nonsense. That crap is a CROCK.
Anyhow, I’m really worn out, so I’m going to call it here. All the best, everyone.
mmmh… just wondering where did she get her new uniform ?
they were both in isolation, and I doubt the good doctor brought new clothes to sarah since he didn’t expect her to survive, and even get out of bed ^^
Ah, yes, Uniform Ex Machina… Well, I couldn’t have them spend right pages trying to find her som clothing, amusing as that might be. I guess I had to make a few conceptual jumps for the sake of the story.
I guess it depends on how you’re going to make them escape the medical ward. You could have skip the cloth changing part here and make sarah escape in patient outfit, and then let her find some clothes in a locker room, with rucker telling her to hurry up while he watch for pursuers.
But hey, it’s your show, and it’s fine for me if from time to time clothes or other things appear here and there to avoid unnecessary pages ^^
First panel is excellent. Especially Rucker. Looks very grim, tough and gritty.
Still a fool, but a likeable one.
Yeah, he definitely wears his heart on his sleeve.
Soak it up you people who came here for the typical web-comic titilation, because this is about as close as this comic will ever get to gratuitous nudity. That said, I am also questioning where the new uniform came from. And even with Mike the Deus Ex Machine doing his magic on her, wasn’t she in serious condition even minus the radiation poisoning?
She’s very determined. But bear in mind that a show of bravado can backfire.
Well, to be perfectly frank, once you embrace the military life, you learn to let go of any sense of modesty really, really fast…
Probably the most surreal moment I can think off happened in Hungary a few years ago – every year the Hungarian Army Reserve organise a remembrance march for the casualties at the Don Bend, in November 1942 (Soviet “Operation Uranus”, part of the battle for Stalingrad and what actually brought them victory). They also invite the Army Reserve of other participating countries (Germany, Austria, Italy, Romania) and the march is held over 3 days at the end of January, in full WW2 campaign gear (except for the Germans, who aren’t allowed by law to wear any WW2 related items, so they just wear their modern uniforms).
The march itself usually is 20km a day, with stops at various villages with monuments, military graveyards, etc, for short ceremonies in remembrance of the dead, and time during those three days is spent in uniform, sleeping eating, etc in a variety of improvised quarters. One year, at the end of the march, we ended up in this village in the middle of nowhere, and the only place big enough to house a few hundred people was the school gymnasium (and then only barely, we had people sleeping in classrooms as well, on the tables as well as under them) and the sanitary facilities were limited to three toilets and three open communal showers.
Since there were so many of us waiting, the officers decided that everyone will get their turn on a first come first served basis, instead of rank, so when my turn came I found myself in the shower with a Hungarian Brigadier General and an Austrian Major – let me tell you, that was one surreal scene, especially since we discovered we all spoke German. I kept wanting to come to attention and salute every time I was asked for the soap. XD
Moving on to adobe and it’s antics, frankly, I never saw the need to move past CS3 Premium- it has all the things I need, still works perfectly on Win 7 64 (I know it’s CS4 that’s the one optimised for 64 bits and multi-core support, but I’ve yet to reach even the current version’s limits), and all the updates have been focused on photography, thus useless for my art.
I also use it in conjunction with another “fossil”, Painter X, (which is certainly a perfectible product, so I might have upgraded, were it not for the fact the following two versions were utter crap, with all of the bugs from the earlier versions and an whole slew of exciting new ones) so between the two of them, I certainly have all my bases covered.
Thus, I can safely say I’ve dodged a bullet – since I use Allplan Nemetschek for architectural work, I am no stranger to invasive DRM (the earlier versions even came with a physical Hardlock that needed to be plugged in the printer port in order for the program to function), but then I read about Adobe CC an it’s monthly subscriptions, no backward compatibility, the fact you will lose access to your own files if you stop paying or there’s a blizzard, the Internet happens to be out and the DRM can’t validate “next month” and I think the people of Adobe have taken leave of their senses, because while their programs are good, they aren’t that good and there’s a lot of others that do (or will do shortly) the exact same things, with much less fuss, cheaper, and in some cases even free… Way to shoot yourselves in the foot, guys!
The day a Photoshop clone appears like that, I’ll be all over it. I’ve been trying to learn Manga Studio but it seems constantly to try to prevent me working intuitively. Photoshop,for its complexities, functions like a stack of tracing paper, and that I understand. MS seems to have its own ideas about workflow and organization and I have to bend over backwards to get it functioning the way I want. And it still doesn’t.
Ugh. One’a these dayyyys!
I heard great thing about Manga Studio, I’m still using PS Elements and Gimp but I heard MS is much easier for program for artist.
Maybe I’m too badly inured, but I found it radically counterintuitive. I have it, and have played around with it, but have never managed to make it work in a way I’m comfortable with. But the way things are going, it’s rapidly becoming the mire economical option. I mean $600 a year for Behance and cloud software? The hell with that – its practically a tax at that point.
Wait aren’t they lovers? I mean really come on.
Maybe in Major Rucker’s dreams, but no, they aren’t.
Unrequited love. The worst feeling there is. 🙁
and what were they doing in the sick day image?
That was Lt. Placeman, her co-pilot.
