Yeh, once it clicks with you it's an amazing programme. There's really nothing that compares!

Best digital inking tools on the market, bar none. Add into that the perspective rulers, of which someone (whose name I’ve completely forgotten) said: ‘you’d pay the full price for this software just to get those perspective rulers as a Photoshop plug-in.’

I’m also a BIG fan of the way it handles panel borders and masks the gutters for you.

Well it always helps starting at the top but worth remembering it takes a while to really get going (well if you ask me). First stories I don't really like. Next to longer form stories, with Simon Davis art - Gunshark Vacation and Murder 101 are pretty good but not quite there. There is then a series of shorts after that however which are just superb.

Thanks for that Colin I know that establishing a story and gets it going can take time. Most of the classic stories started with a lot of one part stories as well. If Rebellion publish this collection I will grab it (or in my case download it) even if it is just to watch Davis wonderful painted work.

Games / Re: Last game played...

Not a game played but found an interesting youtube channel called GAME MAKERS TOOL KIT which, for me anyway, is teaching me lots about games and their mechanics are constructed. Which let's me understand a bit better why some of the things that I play are fun, and some aren't.

Apart from some programming on a ZX Spectrum, I haven't any knowledge of the form of games (so 3D, proper colour and anything bigger than a screen of action is alien to me). So this is good thought provoking stuff.

I'm hoping that next year we'll finally get some proper Sinister Dexter collections to celebrate the 25th anniversary.

Oh I'd not clocked that. I wonder if Dabnett and Tharg have. Hope they do something with the strip in the Prog to mark it. I'm not holding out any hopes for a nice trade or hardback collection being viable alas.

I always struggle to get into Sin/Dex and this might help me to start from the beginning (it started in my slumber period away from the prog).

It's a great pic!

I just started using Clip Studio after years of working in Photoshop. Slightly frustrating at first trying to find equivalents to all of my trusty photoshop tools, but I'm really enjoying it now.

The brush tools, the blending and the layers management are a huge step forward over the version of photoshop that I had been using.

General / Re: If Hachette extends the 2000 AD collection, which books do you want to see?

« Last post by Cosier on Today at 07:04:40 pm »

It'd be good to get a volume of Absalom, picking up where the Caballistics, Inc volumes leave off. One volume would probably be big enough to collect the lot and still have space for the recent Caballistics, Inc conclusion and the upcoming Absalom finale.

The titular (allegedly real?!) weapon is front and centre and creates for an fun set of decapitations and some glorious choreography.

Cor! Sold!
