At least it wasn't RAW. ;D For drawings and CG though, I almost always prefer PNG... It's much lighter than the other formats while leaving the images of comparable quality (and much better than usual jpeg) for most use. Hmmm, I think on my next piece I'll try PNG out. Usually JPEG is pretty nice when its a max-quality Photoshop output though. I forget, but I think there was something about PNG output that was bothering me... probably asking me to choose too many settings or something. ;D Wait... I just checked. It asks me to choose an Interlace option: None or Interlaced. Which should I choose? What do they do? Killerzzz

In my experience max quality jpeg is even heavier than png.
Interlaced or not makes no difference AFAIK other than in what is displayed while a picture load on the web, for example; not interlaced displays the image from top to bottom, interlaced from blurry to sharp. I always choose not interlaced, and the other settings at highest quality.
If your picture has transparency/opacity levels, choosing to keep transparency (from alpha channel) will make your picture keep its transparency (antialiased, to boot); another advantage of png over the other formats.

Because I haven't in a while... ;D "Destroying The World"Still not as good as the oldies, but I have a renewed interest in these, so maybe there will be more in the future? Or maybe not. We'll see! Referring to my discussion with Fille from above this post, I've started using PNG as my format for my Photoshop stuff. And, once again, I'd like to invite everyone to join in the Boredom Incarnate. If you ever doodle in Paint, or something, feel free to post it in here! No matter how low-Q you think it is! (see above illustrations ). This is the for-fun silly doodles thread. ;D Killerzzz

Okay, here's another thing where I need your opinions. Only this time, its on a non-funny comic. The general idea is bordering on cliche at this point, but hey, I was in the mood. The bored-inspired mood. To do this. I've already decided on keeping the text. For a while, I was thinking of not adding it it, but people told me it was too confusing (as I'd feared). Now I just need to know if I should keep the last panel. See, if I don't then I have a non-cliche ending to a sorta-cliche idea. But it's more depressing. If I keep it, I have a possibly-cliche ending (will be seen as such by most, but is technically debatable). Right now, I'm leaning towards cutting the last panel, but others have told me that they prefer the potential for happiness over the lack of that potential. Alright, I'll get on with it. ;D The last panel will be in the spoiler box. MorPanel 1Panel 2Panel 3Panel 4Panel 5Panel 6Panel 7Panel 8Panel 9If the sunset scenes are confusing, keep an eye on where his back light is to see which way he's looking. Though I'm not entirely happy with how everything turned out, I love how the sunset baseball scene did. Couldn't have hoped for more from that. In fact, take a look at it out of context. It's neat. ;D So, how should it end, and what do you think over all? Killerzzz

I don't know what it is either Gal...Maybe it should end with the "delete" button... Really though Killerzzz, I am at a loss on this one..

Robot gains free will and flees when threatened with reprogramming. I'm not sure what's confusing about that?
Either that, or I'm the most confused one here... ;D

I thought MOR was reprogrammed, hence all the wires. I didn't open the spoiler containing the last panel at first and I thought MOR rolling past the baseball game was the end of a sad story. It made a lot more sense like that until the final panel. Maybe he has a curiosity that cannot be reprogrammed?

i have no idea what this is about, maybe i don't understand the idea. And tbh, this is not one of your best comics no offense though None at all taken. ;D I understand. HeF got it spot on. And Elliot mostly so. From that and what others have told me, the most confusion comes from the panel where he is reprogrammed and from the ending. And yes, HeF, that final panel is to suggest that despite being reprogrammed and passing by the baseball diamond, a bit of curiosity returns and causes him to return later. But yeah, the sad story is how I originally meant it to end (and am still tempted to as the extra panel just seems to add more confusion - plus I like a sad ending now and then). Anyone have a suggestion of how I can reword the reprogramming panel so that its more clear (preferably without flat-out showing that it was his curiosity he was being reprogrammed for, cuz I like making people try to figure it out for themselves, but if it must be done, it must be done). Should I straight out have Mor ask his owner about baseball? For those who didn't understand what was going on, here's an explanation, panel by panel; let's see if it helps. -Mor wakes from his box to start his day. -Mor takes a box to be delivered -Mor delivers the box and starts the roll home; but what's that? -Mor sees a baseball game and stops to watch it -Mor hesitates outside the room, then goes in to ask a question (about baseball presumably) -Having asked the question, Mor is shouted at and brought in for reporgramming -Mor wakes up and makes another deliver (life back to normal) -The day is ending, there is a baseball game -Mor... passes... it... by...
Extra final panel -Mor comes back at night to the empty baseball diamond (his curiosity still there? To be honest, the thing I like most about this story is the baseball at sunset scene. ;D So, for in the comic, what needs clearing up? Killerzzz

I had some difficulty to understand the story too... But I don't mind a sad ending. Here's a suggestion: how about duplicating some panels, like having him do a delivery and pass in front of the field more times, plus adding a clock in the human room so it's more obvious what is normal and what isn't. Example: -Mor wakes from his box to start his day. -Mor takes a box to be delivered -Mor delivers the box and starts the roll home -Mor passes by a baseball game -Mor is assigned top deliver a new box, clock shows a small change in time -Mor delivers it and starts the roll home -Mor sees a baseball game and stops to watch it -Mor hesitates outside the room, then goes in to ask a question (about baseball presumably), clock shows a lot more time elapsed than the 1st time -Having asked the question, Mor is shouted at and brought in for reporgramming -Mor wakes up and makes another deliver (life back to normal) -The day is ending, there is a baseball game -Mor passes it by (same panel as when he passed by the 1st time, except at sunset)... (then maybe returns to the office, where the clock shows as little time passed as the 1st time)

One other thing that confused me a bit was that MOR seems to float, particularly past the chain-link fence.
Perhaps move the reprogramming to a panel all on it's own, showing more of MOR being disassembled?

Thx for explaining guys! Now I understand it I need to review my opinion now and Fille is right. There should be some more details to it. For example, a basketball hoop would be nice too, because I didn't notice he was looking at people playing a game tbh

Heh, and to think this was supposed to be a "take a break" project in the middle of a big one. Thanks for the input guys! I won't be fixing it right away (need to finish that big one first), but I will! To Do: -Show another round of Mor's chores -Make the ball smaller in the first game (its baseball btw, Gal. ) -Possibly extend the dismantling scene (we'll see, if it works out) Again, thanks, and now, back to our regular programming! ;D "Poot"Panel 1: ( EDIT: the happy looking guy is supposed to have a bow-tie like in the further panels, but I uploaded the wrong pic and now photobucket is all fail, so I'll fix that tomorra Fixed) Panel 2: ( EDIT: and the flipped mustache in this panel - damn you photobucket Fixed) Killerzzz
