Jayman Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 Just added some books to the ole longboxes and I always like to post some oldies I come across as well as the new additions. That book is cool Dice, I assume it was a play on words from the Killing Joke? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayman Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 Honorable mention here goes to Essential Vertigo for reprinting some great stories and art in black and white! If you ever passed on these issues before, pick one up and see what you are missing artwise! There has been a lot of comments on how much more detail is seen over in the Original Art threads on the covers and panels posted there when viewed without color added.

precodekeith Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 Jayman, is Rockin Bones any good? I never gave it a second thought, for some reason.... Jaxon sure has a thing for drawing monks/padres and Spaniards, doesn't he?? HooRay Death rattle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayman Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 Jayman, is Rockin Bones any good? I never gave it a second thought, for some reason.... It was funny with over-the-top stuff like a full brain being blown out the back of a characters head when shot. I picked them up on ebay for cheap 'cause the covers had that EC look! Jaxon sure has a thing for drawing monks/padres and Spaniards, doesn't he?? HooRay Death rattle! Aztecs too! There are a lot of great talent in those issues, Frazetta, Bissette, Eisner...I would also like to find the first (underground) series! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

precodekeith Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 (edited) Here's a nifty Death Rattle with a Jaxon story and cover based on said story.... Hey!! How do you get your scans to come out bigger!!?? Edited December 11, 2004 by precodekeith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayman Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 Hey!! How do you get your scans to come out bigger!!?? Keith, when I first joined the forums and wanted to post I just downloaded someone elses cover scan that was a nice large size, opened it up in Photoshop and looked at the image size. Then I simply matched my posted scans to a similar size and DPI. If you don't have Photoshop I'm sure other imaging software can do the same. Anyway my .jpg scans are roughly 7.5 x 10.5 @ 72 DPI set at 4 quality (lower compression). They seem to work fine on these boards! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayman Posted December 12, 2004 Share Posted December 12, 2004 it's official..... I give up... Don't give up Keith!!! You're almost there! Your Fright Night scan was 6x4 @ 72 DPI, just go a little bigger. What software do you use? Here's your scan enlarged to 10" high. I also used the "sharpen" filter in Photoshop to get rid of some of the blur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
precodekeith Posted December 12, 2004 Share Posted December 12, 2004 Jayman, I am using the cruddy HP ImageZone software...looks like I need to invest in Photoshop, cuz this HP program is for the birds as far as posting pics is concerned...
