OK my work has calmed down a tiny bit, and I thought I’d show some working for the upcoming comic. Just to show some of my thinking. Basically, I took Charlie’s Rainbow Brite top from an earlier comic (which was, itself made out of a chopped up swimming costume mesh), and stuck a Princess Peach image on it. Then I thought hey let’s fold the cloth up a bit and go strappy (the image above is the ‘before’ image)
Talking of folding, there will be TONS of people reading this who have gaming computers, largely idle overnight. If you have a computer (even a crap one), and would like to save the world, you can literally help with the scientific study and eradication of a certain virus that shall remain nameless.
Visit the non-profit site at https://foldingathome.org/ and install the software. It’s called ‘folding’, because it’s all about the study of how molecules fold at certain points, which can mean certain compounds can kick their arses. This isn’t new; it’s been going on for decades, creating cancer and alzheimers treatments etc. There are thousands of computers networked together trying to figure it all out, and yours can join.
Here’s my computer working 24/7:
^ originally I had Jack being topless (because he always wears that damn t-shirt), but it was too domestic; too couple-y – it made the scene seem far too comfortable and I still want that sense of slight turmoil, slight teenage angst amidst all the sexiness and touching. If he’s topless it just seems like they’re a mature sexually-active couple hanging out. Which is not what I want. I want their hearts beating. Fast. HHHNGGGGNGGGGG!
