I'm a really big fan of Adobe Ideas, an app for iPad and iPhone that was featured in our 10 Best Apps of 2010 video segment.
Walking home yesterday, I was thinking about Portal, as I do every day, and I had a really geeky idea for a comic. I literally could not wait to draw this stupid joke. So as soon as I got on Muni, I started drawing the comic in black and white using Idea's vector paintbrush.
By the time I got home, I had four separate canvases of comic panels. I mailed the PDFs to myself, threw them in photoshop, colored them and added text, and here was the result:
I'm not claiming this is the best representation of my artistic talents. I am however really pleased that I can throw together a comic strip in vector in 30 minutes, ready to be resized and broken into alpha channel layers for Photoshop.
