BAPOM Release #175 [forum post: 326515]

While it's arguably superfluous, as there's really nothing wrong with the program set that comes with the track, that's only occasionally stopped me in the past...



---

Program Notes for Those Who Care About Such Matters: this cover features Original BAPOM... well, let's just call it 'Art' and be done with it.

Those of you who've been paying attention might well point out that it looks suspiciously like the real-life Reims '63 cover. This is intentional - I wanted to see if I could draw essentially the same scene from scratch. Not a single pixel came from anything but a photoshop paintbrush.

The answer is a firm "well, not really," but I think I'm getting closer. At least the perspective is mostly 'right' this time out (or so I believe!)

Cheers,
--John Bradley

Cool looking as usual John

BTW did you draw it with mouse or are you using a graphic tablet (like a Wacom Graphire)?

Real track, fake track, good scenery, bad scenery. If you have time to look at those then you're not going fast enough :-)

This particular one was done mostly with the tablet (I've got a 9x12 Wacom Intuos with an airbrush stylus), but I still switch back to the the regular mouse for stuff that needs to be precisely positioned (such as the car streak lines) and also for stuff that doesn't require any pressure info (such as the sky).

The tablet is most useful when you want to have dynamic control over the stroke (ie, having it fade out or having the brush size diminish), since you can bind those sorts of things to the stylus pressure (and the thumb wheel on the airbrush). When I don't need that, I'll typically use the mouse - it's somewhat more precise, and I can operate the program itself (various pulldowns, dialog boxes, menus, etc.) faster.

For example, before this one, the last time I used the tablet was probably the Nazareth cover. The intervening 14 covers (Efexx through Snake) were all mouse-drawn.

Cheers,
--John Bradey
