The art in A Bride's Story is mostly outstanding, but the insane detail of the clothes really run head first into the manga style where the faces are just empty surfaces with two giant eyes and a tiny mouth.

The comic itself is currently on break between chapters and I had kind of hoped it would at least be off break by the time I caught up to the chapter end but that doesn't seem likely at this point. Oh well.

Concerned: The Half-Life and Death of Gordon Frohman

153

I've been swamped with e-mail since Monday. A bunch of people wrote in to tell me they knew I wasn't trying to be serious with the Frank Tangent comics. Whew. Reaffirmed my faith in the readership. Thanks, everyone.

If you'll notice in panel five, that's Kleiner's pet headcrab, Lamarr, in the background. Oh wait, I forgot to put him in after trying to remember all day that I should put him in. Dang. Let's just say he's off munching on some melon in the other room.

By the way, I should point out that the door Frohman is walking into in panel three does actually lead to Kleiner's lab. It's the same area you later pass through when you're leaving the lab with Dog after getting back from Nova Prospekt (though it's more smashed up and crumbled then). I should also point out I didn't realize this until I was done posing the scene, and I said, "Huh. This actually is the right spot." I just picked it because, hey, I needed a door.

154

Since my drawn pencils of comics past looked so awful, I decided to download an actual pencil model on the advice of a few readers. The links they sent (a while ago) were no longer active, but I found some here(dead link), apparently created by a G-Mod forum member named "thespectator". Nice work, TS!

Also, Barney's Civil Protection mask from Wednesday's comic can be added to your proplist by opening any of the textfiles in your gmod/settings/menuprops folder and adding the following lines:

"!Helmet_Back" "models/BarneyHelmet.mdl"

"!Helmet_FacePlate" "models/BarneyHelmet_faceplate.mdl"

They aren't physical props, actually, but effects, and they work nicely. Found that tidbit, again, somewhere in the G-Mod forums. Those forums are ridiculously helpful. Pretty much any question you've got about G-Mod has already been asked and answered in there.

155

Hm. That was fun to do. I might have to throw together an actual, complete issue of the Bugle one of these days. Maybe include an editorial on why it's okay for the National Anthem to be sung in Vortessence.

The animation A.) Took way too long to figure out how to do, but now I know how to make animated PNGs with After Effects, and B.) Is about 12mb, so it might take a second to load. The redraw was also a great idea, because I think the new pages are much smoother in the art department, even if it means not playing sunbreak (I wasn't going to play Sunbreak until the mods updated anyways.) C.) I am getting better at lining up the frames and animations so it looks like a natural part of the comic :kimchi:

Also also, Lydia is supposed to be in her mid to late 30s, does that come across? I'm wondering if her head is too big and makes her seem teen-ager-y

It does come across as 30s, I'm enjoying this sequence and it's great to see you pushing the medium around a bit.

It sucks to know a break is coming, but on the other foot these pages have an excellent break and I was elated to read it
