Text:

• I started with Sketching the general shape of the subject. The brush I used is similar to a real pencil.
• I set the Sketch layer blending mode to Multiply and I created a new layer filled with two colors.
• I started painting without adding details just for understand lights and shadows.
• You can use any brush you want but the secret is to set a low ”flow rate of stroke”. Usually 10% or 17%.
• I brushed for some hours, adjust details. Another small secret is the use of the Dodge tool (O) for special effects. (see the eye!)

Sono molto addolorata per la tragica morte di Pippa Bacca. Mi tocca come se l’avessi conosciuta di persona. E’ vero che è stata ingenua ma questo non giustifica la sua fine atroce.

I am very sad about the tragic passing of Pippa Bacca. Her naïvety dont’ justify her cruel death.

Adobe, you never cease to amaze me!! First with Kuler, later with Adobe Share and now with Photoshop Express!!
Get a try to the new flash application who emulate Photoshop: it can come in handy for someone who need to adjust a picture and he’s working with a computer without any cg softwares installed. The website looks like other adobe application, obviously has a noticeably small list of features but the service is free and comes with 2Gb of storage for your files. Thanks to this PS Express common people will be accustomed with the cg and the web will looks better (it’s ready for Picasa, Photobucket and Facebook)
It’s annoying that my Adobe ID doesn’t work there.

There’s another website that emulate Photoshop: SPLASHUP. It looks more like a real software and there are more features includes Layers (with Blend Modes!!) selection, brushes, filters and .. the free transform! Do you know that the geeklove-GIMP does not have this feature? O_o. I think the screenshot speak for me. Oh.. and SplashUp is ready for Picasa, Photobucket, Facebook AND Flickr. […]

I removed the old nelshael’s gallery because after the last update of “gallery2″ it was impossible to log-in and manage my files. I had waited for 5 months for a tech support and now I decided to put all the webcomic, all the illustrations into this new wonderfull gallery for wordpress. Its name is NextGEN Gallery.

.. by the way! We have a new homepage for our beloved webcomic. I provide two zip with the full comic and an album with illustrations, sketches and yonkomas. This is the right place for Nelshael. Rest in peace!
