Wow! Color overload. :) Looks good, though.

Well, this was my second corpse, so I don't think I did very well. I do like the slice after mine.

To lori
for a second corpse you did well!!!
as far as I am concerned, being a pirate gives extra-rights :)
tips that might help you in the future to make a "smoother" continuation from the slice you get to the slice you make:
1) take the slice you have recived by mail, duplicate it. than transform the duplicated part useing - flip horizontal option and attach it to the bootom of the original slice
from there continue ...
2) use the color sampler to use the exact colores in the slice you have recived
3) use the stamp tool.
keyboard-ALT+mouse=to stamp/copy a part.
than again use the mouse=to paste what you have sampled
I genarally use those tools alot to start corpse-slices I make
by the way...and thank's for your compliment on my slice

gr8 weekend to all

I like how unfinished this is!

My "tip" for working on a continuation is to have a blank Corpse which is 450 x 215 pixels.
I drop the piece I have been given in as a new layer and use the "clone" tool to copy some what I need from the slice I was given and then create my slice.
Eventually, I will usually merge all the layers including the slice I was given. and continue working.
When I think I am finished, I will take another copy of the slice I was given and make a new layer on top to ensure that I didn't mess up the edge. I fix any errors on that edge and then paste the layer down.
I then crop the whole thing as a 450 x 215 piece and copy it and paste it into my 450 x 200 blank Corpse, adjust it within that space to ensure that the bottom and sides are properly aligned within the frame, and crop it exactly to the 450 x 200 size (cutting off that extra 15 pixels that are now up above the edge of the frame).

It seems everyone has his or her own way of creating a new slice.
I copy the 15 px piece to a new layer which I always have on top, locked. I delete the original. Then I expand my canvas to 450 x 215 with the copy of the original at the top. Next (as a kindness to my old eyes) I change my image size to 900 x 450 - yes I know you're "not supposed to do that."
I blend into my new art using the smudge tool, or the eyedropper coupled with the paint brush, or the clone tool. If I use the clone tool I copy the original layer and leave it underneath the locked copy of the original I have at the top. In other words, I never touch or change the original.
When I'm all done, I crop off the top 15 px original, reduce my image to 50%, and then save as a jpeg (retaining my 2x sized layered image). If I use any layer styling, I save as a jpeg before I crop and resize.

All these tips might leave Pirate thinking his/her slice was bad... but I think it works well, for the record.
This corpse looks like some of the shirts and bermuda shorts I owned in the 80's. Not sure I've even seen those colors since then.
