For those who have been following my improv comic strip "Liquid Stealth", I have just posted Page 5 in the Poser gallery. Thought this might be the quickest way to let the most people know as I haven't posted a new page for a while due to the holidays. http://www.renderosity.com/viewed.ez?galleryid=854863&Start=1&Artist=deci6el&ByArtist=Yes Since I have been free with the advice/comments I thought I would put myself on the line. Comments are always welcome.

Very good, it is a good way of doing a first person narrative.

If nothing else it has helped me get organized in mangaging several characters across different scenes. As Liquid Halo pretty much is all I can fit into a shot, give or take some lightweight sets or props. As I move toward more populated scenes it will be more challenging.

Thanks for the encouragement and taking the time to look and comment. This has been a huge diversion that I can't quite shake, I hope I can at least take the story to the end of this chapter. 'Cause, while I was making this up as I went along I have since projected a much longer story line. Too enormous to do at the current pace. Cast of thousands, that sort of thing, you know? But we've all got stories we want to do someday? Right? The smoke for the Drone Trooper is made with Peter Norby's (Trapcode) Particular, a plug-in for After Effects 6.5. Does an array of different particle effects pretty quickly. I've barely scratched the surface with it. Finding a practical way to learn his plug-in was another inspiration that started this Liquid Comic, that and a lot of 3D objects that weren't getting used. cheers to all

Glad to see you finally got the chance to do another page. Your work's giving me hope that I might be able to put together a comic I've been debating on starting. Just a matter of putting together the story and finding time to do it.

Don, I said it before, and I'll say it again: what a treat to see good grammar, correct spelling, and a heavily-armed, no-nonsense space babe! Keep up the good work! all the best from Paul (texboy)

Texboy! There you are, you demon! Don't think I've forgotten your comments. Now, everytime I'm putting in the text I'm thinking, "#@!, I better get the grammer right." Even with spellcheck and I proof reader I just barely caught a typo yesterday* Thanks, for the nod, and keeping me on toes. cheers, Don *actually, it was a left over from a deleted line.
