Just something that popped into my head while working on the Cipher Minis. I always like the photonegative effect on line art.

Cipher mini c0rrVp710Nnnnnnnn…. by *533497
Yeah, I said I wouldn’t make a MissingNo joke when I finished Cipher Mini Red & Blue (because they were never meant to be referential in the first place), but the more I tried to steer myself away from it, the more tempting the idea sounded. So, here it is. I’ll post it to my DeviantART gallery proper when I finish The Cipher, which is currently sitting unfinished on my table with only its background laid out.

Audio post - Played 1 time
[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]This is the audio for the conclusion of Qomics Quintology, wherein I explain why there won’t be a part V, at least not in the same vein as what’s come before. I might make a video to go along with the audio, but the more I think about it, the less enthused I am to go about it. If anything, it won’t be for a week or two as I’m going out of town this coming weekend, and I’ve got at least two other projects I want to get done before then.
This one turned out a lot better than I thought it would. I didn’t have to do hardly any processing in post. I guess my scanner just hates red (which explains why Broken Sky turned out so well), which is a shame because it’s such a striking color to use against black and white.
The burned paper turned out a lot better as well, which was something of an accident act of serendipity. Normally, when I burn parchment, I hold the paper flat, get the edge burning, and then blow it out as quickly as I can. It gives the edge a nice, singed look, especially if the paper is torn by hand ahead of time (otherwise the edges are too smooth). This time, though, I held it at an angle, so the flame actually brushed against the paper, which is why the burns seem to spread inward a little more. Trouble is, it’s kind of a dangerous practice and you risk just sending your work up in smoke ( ;P I mades a punny thing). Case in point: the scraps in the upper right were originally a long strip, but it got way too brittle when I burned it and crumbled without hardly pulling on it. It’s effective, I guess, but since I’m using double-sided tape, I like the pieces to be fairly large. I will sometimes go over the edges with a glue stick once I get them positioned, but it’s not something I like to do and I’ll avoid it if I can.

Never feels right to capitalize the word “mini.” It’s like Gallagher being confused as a child by the number of letters in “big” as opposed to “little.”
Something I’m really unhappy with that can’t be seen is the way the scanner completely absorbed the orange highlights on the background glyphs. I tried bringing them out in post by tweaking the hue and saturation, but nothing worked. In any case, I think the highlight effect looks a little better in Cipher mini Blue, where I used green as a highlight for the blue runes. I guess maybe the orange I used was just a little too close to the red.

I nearly gave my thumb third-degree burns distressing the edges, but making this was easily the highlight of producing the review of Swords of the Swashbucklers issue 2.
