Sci-Fi Links
Saturday, September 19, 2009 - 12:09 AM
First, the long-term good news: I've begun sketching out ideas for a second website to host the "Saturday Sci-Fi Strip". If I'm going to commit to doing this strip for the long haul, it needs its own site. ESPECIALLY for reasons of archive navigation.
But...
Sites take a while, so in the meantime, you can find the links to all the Sci-Fi strips here, on the Sheldon Fan page on Facebook. (And thanks to Sheldon reader Brian P. for putting that together! Kind of you!)

MUCH better adding black outlining to the blue color scheme. The definition (like that used by Kerschl) helps to sharply define borders for us old fogies. Now the blue is ethereal and otherworldly, befitting a good scifi strip. Thanks a lot, Dave. Can't wait to see where this strip goes. Say, how about an occasional cross-over from Sheldon? Flaco would be a natural!

Actually, he hasn't added black outlines at all... it's a navy blue, in contrast to the lighter blues used to shade and for detail. You might have a problem with your colour settings if it looks black to you.
It definitely does make it easier to look at and read and see details with the new scheme of darker blues for linework and more than one pale blue for the shading. I always liked the blue, but using more than one shade adds a lot more depth to the artwork, and improves it a lot.
I'm very excited to see where this goes, and I'm glad you're considering having another site for it Dave.

I LIKE the change to the blue style! Dark blue outlining gives it some more dimension, great idea Dave. ;)
I also really like today's... Especially that HEY-O~!

I'm starting to love Nosh(Noosh ... what was the spelling again?).
Surprised to learn that he got off with so lenient a punishment for regicide. Something smells fishy (of course, there're no fish left on Earth by this time, but they must have a suitable idiom).

New shades of blue, I see. Is that black you added Dave? I like it. It brings out the outline of the characters in a much more pleasant way. I really liked it. I must say I didn't know what to make of the first couple of sci-fi comics, with this one I'm already warming up to it. I suspect I'm gonna like it even more.
Go Dave!

Pity eyes don't come with manufacturer's warranties the way computer monitors do.

Well, these have functioned correctly for over half a century, so that's a pretty good record. Not even Hyundai gives that kind of warranty.

Good lord, someone older than I am on the internet... that doesn't happen often.
