At the mall...

It's been a while. I thought i'd spend a few minutes with some of the Archie pals and gals.
Spells-r-Us was always a favorite of mine. Really miss the stories at Fictionmania.

Thanks for all the reviews on the previous work. Maybe I'll have more time for these during the summer months.

At the mall...

After looking at the image again, I found I wasn't happy with the way the transposed faces turned out. The dot pattern just didn't seem to match the style of the base comic.

Thank goodness for software! I copied each of the faces to a separate drawing and converted it to a 1-bit black and white image which creates a reasonable dot pattern. This was then copied back into the original drawing and placed on top of the original faces. Changing the transparency of the black and white image allowed the underlying color to come through.

It's not a perfect solution (I wish there was a reasonably priced add-in that would crate the comic page effect), but it gets a lot closer to looking correct.

Anybody have a better way?

Very Nice! Keep up the good work!

Sounds complicated. Still, the results are much better, well done.

Make the heads smaller and the faces narrower. (In Paint Shop Pro, I would do this with the "Deformation" tool.) Right now, it looks like you've frankensteined boys' heads onto girls' bodies -- of course, that might be exactly the visual result you want.

Grim Ghost, thank goodness, I was thinking I was the only one who used Paint Shop Pro!!! **hugs** A friend at last!!!!! Sorry, got carried way there.
