This post contains an exceptionally tall image from one of my new favorite web comics VGCats (vgcats.com). I'm really new to comics, but there is a flow to most that can't be messed with, and although I could have photoshopped this into a square, I really like the flow it has as is. So just click to view!Having never read many comic books as a kid, I'm finding more and more that webcomics are definitely up my alley. VGCats in particular tends to theme most of it's entries around video games and the industry producing them. The above image is actually one of the few that were done simply as a Christmas entry, but still in the usual darkly funny style. I have no experience using Adobe Illustrator, but I'm thinking it's what was probably used to create this. I can imagine the headache of doing this in Photoshop, but it is possible of course. The gradient mapping alone of the colors is very richly done, and would probably make my head explode if attempted. Someday I hope to have even greater skill for my own designs; people like me with stunted art skills need a lot of practice and digital help! =)
