Notes:I like to play my crack straight so my idea was to put our guys in a photoshopped background, give the whole thing the look of 'manipped screencap'. I quite like the result but it would've been so much easier to draw the background from scratch. (There was much cursing.) Maybe there's a way to speed up the process, I just haven't found it yet. The idea of combining photoshopped caps with drawings still intrigues me even though I remember, at the time, saying something like 'shoot me if I ever try this again'.

OMG, cuuute!

For what it's worth, the background looks perfect. It's absolutely noticeable that it's a real screenshot, and I think it gives the drawing that extra bit of authenticity that you were trying to achieve.

I think I'll grab the wraith and the Rodney icons. There is no other word for those muppets but *cute*!

Glad you think the background works; this is still new territorry and this grasshopper's got much to learn.

that it's a real screenshot

Actually three or four screenshots that I stripped for parts. That's one of the reasons why I prefer to draw from scratch... it's so damn hard to even find screencaps that fits your purpose just right.
