Is that the Bates mansion?

what an interesting shape that grassy hill turned into i like it. it's got a fruity-planetary thing going. and the agedness look of it compliments the house.

that house is a haunted house in my home town that i photographed. it's all boarded up and very mysterious. there's a sign on the gate that says "enter at your own risk" and despite the fact that no one lives there pots of flowers appear at the front entrance in the summer.

So is there a term for when the top panel appears to be a Fresh Prince? (technically, of course, that is impossible, but visually?)
Ann at February 28, 2006 10:52 AM
Yeah, Ann, it's a shame your cues weren't followed. What a cool idea for a starting slice!

It would have been cool to see a transition from panel one o two, and yet this corpse still works for me. Panels one and two are so different from one another on one level, and very similar on another. Apollonian/Dionysian, an abstract Jekyll and Hyde.
Add that to the pink haunted house under yellow, fauvist sky, the giant ancient coin and the bounty of fruit, the theme persists. I'm going to win me that fruit lottery one of these days...

Ok so skin me alive! It was my first and when I was doing it there was a transition that made sense to my eye (of course or I wouldn't have done it). I did a few things like work where it was visually much larger than it was going to be and I think that threw my intentions off some. I need to get a better handle on how things translate into the finished corpses. I also need a better understanding of what elements are contained in a good transition. Still and all this didn't turn out so bad as I thought it might. So is a Fresh Prince when something doesn't really look like it fits in?

Lilah, no one intends to "skin you alive." It takes everyone a little time to get the hang of smooth transitions. Welcome to the game!
Your slice is very cool on its own merit. Part of the goal is to work from the pixels before you, and people can feel pretty dissappointed when they work hard on an idea which then gets sort of disregarded in subsequent slices. To see what a "Fresh Prince" is (and how it got its name, see http://anexquisitecorpse.net/how.php, step 6.
I always advise people to work at exact size and 72 dpi, because enlarging and reducing always seems to cause problems.

Damn it. Lilah said we could, and we're running out of skin in the Supply Closet.
Skin! Skin! Skin!

And for the record, I love your contribution here, Lilah. The colors are pure magic.

Mmm, and what Shae said too.
Every corpse I've ever pooched (technically) was directly related to DPI and my inexplicable need to poke it with a stick.
Miroje at March 1, 2006 1:16 PM
Shea! That is some useful advice THANKS work not enlarged ? That makes sense now that I have seen some results. Maybe I can learn how to do this before I am shredded :)
