i was expecting something funny

n00bward · #3

I thought it was funny.

I guess I don't have a good sense of humor like noob3 does.

haha, nice job. Of course, this is just two steps away from cruising the country for "Pickleman signings" and trying to launch your own TV show.

That was wonderful. :D

I never knew a pickle could crack someone's skull open. You learn something new every day.

Hahaha, the ending sucked a little though. But the little details on the first cover page was great, like get a free tumour from the box of cereals... assuming they're cereal. It would be great if you could get a cameo in next issue. Like have superman fight pickel man. They both can fly and stuff right???

edit: and i just noticed there's clickable item on the comic.

Hey, I'm the guy who did the art for Picklman. Sorry if I'm not Michael Turner (yet...) but I do my best to render pickleness as best as I can.
I'm using this opportunity to practice my skills and all, hoping to be good enough at some point.

BTW, I did pencil, ink and colour took lots of time. I think it was worth it, though.

Zero Signal · #9

I think you did a fine job, Pox.

Spectre X · #10

that was just so funny

Nice job on it. How did you color it? I am making my Postal entry and it is pretty much done, but I don't want to color it because I will screw it up. I want it to look like a comic book type thing, but I don't know what they use to color it.

Hmm, I wanted to do a "step-by-step" tutorial thingy at some time to show you guys how I work, but given the urgency of the situation, here goes:

1. Photoshop
2. Ink it and scan it
3. "select color range>highlights ( inverse)
4. Cut and paste on a new layer
5. Delete the bg ( this will make it cleaner)
6. Now, you can add a white layer under the outline
7. Filter> blur more ( on the outline layer of course)
8. Select layer transparency
9. Then, get a big 100% hardness brush and color those lines in black
10. Deselect and see what you have created, clean black outline
11. Get the eraser and clean up some randoms black dots and some mistakes and whatnot
12. Make a layer between the outline and the bg
13. Color each part of you drawing with one basic color using the Fill Bucket and the Polygonal Lasso
14. Now, create another layer between the outline and the color
15. Still using the polygonnal lasso, color in some shadings and highlights by using the black and white colors and a paintbrush. It works waaaaaaaaaaaay better if you set the oppacity of your brush at 12-20%
16. Also, use one of those really soft brushes.

There you go.

Good job guys - it made me

It is good. And kinda funny. I actually found the small details in some of the panels funnier than the overall story.

You should do a whole issue about the missing jellyfish.

Poxpower · #15

yeah, I think the cover of each Issue will be Jam-Packed with those funny references.

Thanks. I'm working on setting up a book tour as we speak.

Hehe, glad to see some people are finding those clickable secrets on the cover page. There's 4 in total.

And see Pox? I told you putting a missing jellyfish on the carton would be a good idea. You can't go wrong with a jellyfish.
