I'm a photoshop addict and I've been known to make various fun/silly/amusing (I hope) Gatchaman pics. I've been sharing them over at the Gatchaman Archives boards but I thought I would do the same here for those who might not have seen them. So here we go... Here's one of the first Gatchaman images I created (click on image for larger version):

More coming soon...

I don't call myself an expert but I'm more than willing to help if I can. I remember when I first started using photoshop I almost gave up on it because the user interface was so confusing. I didn't know what did what. After a while of using it, I finally got the hang of it but there are still some options I don't know what they do. Wink

I recommend using it and experiment. If you do something that you don;t like just hit CTRL-ALT-Z (undo).

I'm busy with my other fics as it is (course these days I'm more of an editor than writer). I run a DC Comics fanfic site (DC Legends) and an original Pulp genre Fiction site (Cliffhanger Case Files). Actually I'm about a month behind in designing a couple new pages for the sites for new series from people. As for the art challenges... it depends. I do these for fun so often it depends if the inspiration hits me or if I have the time. If I feel I can contribute something - I will. Wink

Oh ya, here's another pic that I really like but it isn't a Gatchaman one but a Lupin III image:

I was thinking of the christmas challenge but thought he could do pics with captions instead of a fic. After all that makes for more fun dont you think?

I get that. I watched it, or was forced to watch it, depending on your view. I must say I prefered the Yes, Minister series more. Not that they are related but that was my preference at the time.

I liked both equally. I even have some of the Rumpole books as well. Everytime I read them I think of Leo McKern as Rumpole. I really like Yes, Minister and Yes, Prime Minister as well. Paul Eddington, Nigel Hawthorne, and Derek Fowlds are prefect in that series (and its "sequel").

A devilish temptation isn't ADMITTING to his corrupting influence. Which, IMHO, makes him MUCH more corrupting.Wolf in sheep's clothing, you know. Or in Tim's case, Giant Blue Chicken in Eagle's clothing.

Okay, time to bring this thread back on topic. Photoshop Tutorial 'Ichi' (One): The Basics - Working with Layers The nice thing about photoshop is you can break things into different layers. For those who don't work with photoshop this means that information can be on different levels. For example... ------------------------- Text ------------------------- Coloured Border ------------------------- A new Image ------------------------- Background Image ------------------------- This way you can work on one level without affecting another level (layer). So in the case illustrated above, I could change the text without actually affecting the original background image. Each layer can have its own settings. You can make one layer hide the layer underneath it (default setting) or you can change the layer's blending options and make it transparent (the level of transparency can be adjusted). There are many different effects that you can do to a layer. Next: How Do I Get the Outlines Around the Text?

I once wrote a SF comic story (full script) set in the near future where the main bad guys were an international terrorist organization with an hermaphrodite leader (they were bent on causing Ragnorak/the end of the world). The heroes were humans who had died and were brought back to live with modifications giving them super-powers. The team and comic was known as The Phoenix Corps. The whole thing definitely had a Gatchaman influence to it.

Alas, I wrote the Phoenix Corps about a decade ago. I don't have an electronic copy anymore (it was on my old computer that died years ago). I might have a hard copy of the first issue kicking around somewhere. The main bad guy believed he was in contact with a Norse god who gave him his mission to destroy the world to make it ready for the return of the gods. The terrorist organization was getting help (money & weapons) from the Lunar Colony faction who wanted independence from Earth (the Terrans called those who lived on the moon 'Loonies'). I should see if I can find my old notes and rewrite the story. Wink

Heh heh, I've watched Stargate but I don't consider myself a fan. When I originally wrote it - I think there was only the Stargate movie (no tv series). I think I used the name Loki for the organization but I can't remember what I called the bad guy. I do remember leaving the concept open so that one could interpret the norse god bit as being in the main villain's head or real. I wrote this story over a decade ago so some of the details are sketchy and besides... the writing itself would have been bad. Wink

When I write I often work out the background details for the "universe" so I know what's what when I go to write. Sometimes these background details won't make it into the story but they are there to help me write the story I want to tell. My advice to you CD is to write! Don't worry about the story not being good. Just write it. The more you write the better you will get at it. I've been editing people's fanfic for about a decade now and I've seen some great writers get even better and some not so great writers turn into decent writers. It takes work and commitment to your craft. Like any skill, the more you use it the better you will get at it. Here's what I suggest for the writing process (this may or may not work for you - everyone is different): 1) Write and finish that first draft! Don't worry that it isn't perfect. If you wait for your story to be perfect you will never finish it. Basically you are forming the basic shape of your story. 2) Now comes the hard work - Edit your story. In this phase you write and rewrite your story and craft it into the shape that you wanted. 3) Beta Readers - very important! Often when editing your own work you will miss some errors because you are too close to the material. You may miss what's on the page because you *know* what's suppose to be there and not see what's really there. This is why you get someone you trust to read it. They will point out any typos, grammar mistakes or clumsy sentence structure. Just because something is clear to you it might not be clear to your readers. That's my 2 cents worth (1.5 cents US) Smile

The first thing for me to overcome was the "fear" of putting my stories down where others could find them. If you did not guess: as a teenager I had been "tormented" by some of my classmates when they found a story I wrote. They then wrote nasty comments all over the story and showed it around the school to others. Since that time I never wrote anything down that could be seen by others. Thanks to everyone's support here I actually wrote down my first story in over 20 years. It then took a lot of encouragement to get me to post it. Even after TJ beta read it and told me it was good, it took a while before I was confident enough to post. Now I am going through the process again. I have started a second story but need to find the courage to finish it, so I can move onto the next step.

Photoshop Tutorial 'Ni' (Two): How Do I Get the Outlines Around the Text? This quick tutorial is about how I get the outlined writing on pics. Please note that I'm currently using Photoshop 6.0 so a different version might have slightly different user interface but the principles are the same. Obviously first decide what image you want to add the writing to. This will be the lowest layer (sometimes known as the background layer). ------------------------- Background Image ------------------------- Next, click on the Text tool. Write your text. If you highlight the text that you have written, then you can adjust the fonts, colour, size, spacing, etc. This can be done with the Character box (click on Window, Show Character if it isn't present when you open photoshop). ------------------------- Text ------------------------- Background Image ------------------------- Once you've written something that you are content with - here's come the interesting stuff. This is a little tip that I do. Right click on the text layer and click on the Duplicate layer option. Now you have two layers of the same text. ------------------------- Text Copy 2 ------------------------- Text ------------------------- Background Image ------------------------- See the little eye that is on each layer (to the left). Click on it on one of the text layers (it doesn't matter which). You've just made that layer transparent. The reason for doing this will come clearer soon. ------------------------- Text Copy 2 ------------------------- (Hidden Text Layer) ------------------------- Background Image ------------------------- Now click on the visible text layer. Rick click and click on Rasterize Layer. That turns the text layer into an image. That's why we kept a copy of the text layer hidden. You can't edit the text once it has been rasterized but should you decide to edit the text, you have a text version hidden away waiting. ------------------------- Text Rasterized Layer ------------------------- (Hidden Text Layer) ------------------------- Background Image ------------------------- Once you are on the rasterized text layer, at the top of photoshop, click on Layer --> Layer Style --> Stroke. A box will pop up. Adjust the Size to determine how thick you want the outline to be (I find for normal text 1 or 2 is the best setting). Click on the Color box to choose the colour that you want the outline to be. When done click Okay. This layer style will appear just under the rasterize text layer. ------------------------- Text Rasterized Layer Effects - Stroke ------------------------- (Hidden Text Layer) ------------------------- Background Image ------------------------- That's all there is to it. I'm sure this made no sense if you don't use photoshop and hopefully it will make some sense if you do use it. Wink

I haven't written anything in ages and I've never tried my hand at Gatchaman fanfic. These days I'm usually acting as an editor and helping out new writers. Here are my two writing hangouts that I've created and maintain: Cliffhanger Case Files - Home to original fiction inspired by the classic Serials, Pulp Novels, Old Time Radio, and Film Noir of yesterday. I created the image on the main page in photoshop from scratch. My series is called Martian Sixgun Justice. It is a SF/Western story that I really need to get back writing or else TJ might beat me up. Wink

I started writing superhero comic fanfic back in the early 1990s. Most of it isn't online anymore but I created and run my own DC Comics fanfic site still: DC Legends Fanfic Project I was writing a Green Arrow series. It is some of my earlier work. I really should get back to it (do you see a pattern here :p). I also did a Green Lantern Corps oneshot called Scavanger Hunt.

When it comes to writing and publishing it for the public to read, you have to learn to develop a thick skin. Some people may like your story and others might not. I once got a scathing review of one of my earliest stories that called me a hack and ripped me and my story to pieces. I wrote a reply to the author and commented on his criticisms one by one. Where he had a legitimate point, I thanked him for his help and where he was just being a bastard, I called him on it. As it turned out, the guy wanted to write for the group I was writing for at the time but he was rejected so he took his frustrations out on me and my story. Wink

Wink

What I learnt from that was constructive criticism is necessary if you want to grow as a writer. Learn from your mistakes. As an editor, I will read someone's story and then if I see areas that I think need fixing - I tell the writer. Usually two results happen. 1) The writer thanks me for the help and makes the corrections (and then I publish the story). This is someone who is serious about their craft. Please note that one can be serious about their craft and still write for fun. The two notions are exclusive of each other. or... 2) They get all mad at me and insult me for suggesting that they should change a single word of their work of art. These so-called writers are just in it for the ego stroke and have no real interest of improving their skill. I don't have time for such a writer. Constructive criticism is necessary for a writer's development. I don't mean criticism for the sake of criticism (ie being mean for the sake of being mean). I mean pointing out typos, grammar issues (not my personal strength) or clumsy sentence structure, etc. These things can pull a writer out of your story and if you have a lot of these mistakes, the reader might not come back for more (or worse - tell people to avoid your stories). The reader will judge you as the writer by what they see on the page. If there are a lot of mistakes then that tells the reader that the writer didn't care enough about the reader to fix them. At least that's IMNSHO (in my not so humble opinion). Don't let the idea of writing intimidate you. Just get out there and do it. Like I said before, it is like any other skill - the more you do it the better at it you will get. That's my 2 cents worth. Wink

Excuse my ignorance...TJ who is that???? Where did she come from? Sosai! Write a Gatch fic for us, try new horizons. People do crafts and arts on different levels. I have put my art work in Competitions and faced the critics there. I take that more seriously in a way because it is my first passion. I know some very good artists who might put a piece in a comp, but they are not as serious about it and just want to share their work with other people. They read the feedback sheets, some would get upset, others take it in.(some judges just made person comments that had no place on some feedback sheets...too. Deducting points over things that I thought was unfair to a novice.) I taught classes in porcelain art for years and I found many were scared of putting their work on display because of what someone might say about it... But then I get judged much harder because in my art because I'm at a professional level. ( I'm an amateur at writing.) I have time for both. The judges in shows are alway more serious in allocating points etc and I value feedback if it is meant to help you improve. I guess if writing is you first passion and you are at the level of being and editor then you should be more fussy about what you do. But I do like the tips you give to help improve. Writing is another type of art in itself from what I am learning about it... I'm not going to become a professional in that area though! Rambling again! Sigh! Ebony moves on... I'll have to have a look at some of your stories Sosai...

I start writing, get half-way through, then think "no one's going to be interested in this!" or "they're going to think this is stupid". I haven't finished any of my fics yet - I have 2 in process and 3 more ideas in my head. I also have a terrible tendency to start a fic, get another idea, and drop the first to start the second... And I'm currently having some issues in my RL that aren't allowing me the opportunity to write right now. So it'll probably be some time before I'm done (which is why it amazes me that a certain someone can write 2 short fics back-to-back in no time!) Anyway, my apologies for the babble.

Here's my secret: I'm addicted. I'm writing every spare moment I get. Today I wrote 3 pages in the car, by hand, while waiting to pick up my kids from school. I just can't stop thinking about it. It's actually quite a problem. I've stopped doing lots of other things, just so I can write... Hiding

As for you, I love all kinds of Gatch fics (well, except yaoi... not my thing, really) and while hookups are fun, the flirtation and innuendo is too! I've written a few fics that were just about that! Or mostly, anyway... Wink

In any case, I am looking forward to what you have for us, whenevre you feel you are comfortable. Oh, and original characters are not a problem. This is coming from someone who wrote an entire fic from the POV of a character she created.

Get to the ending?? That's another thing I do ALOT. I rarely write in order... My first fic (the epic), I've already written the climax and most of the epilogue. I've started the beginning, but haven't finished it yet. And now I've started a middle chapter! My second fic has been better. I've actually been writing that from beginning to end.

I'm so glad to hear this TJ! I'm a bit concerned that my first fic may be too close to being considered a Mary Sue, or that people will think it leans too much towards that direction. So I wanted to change some of it (that's part of the reason I've stopped writing it for now). But I've come to realize that if I change it, it pretty much takes away and changes the entire story. I took the online litmus test a while ago and luckily the results said it wasn't, but I think I may change it a bit to get it away from that a little more. But then, on the other hand, isn't this supposed to be my ideas and my story?? I think now you're starting to understand my confidence issues!!! Hinotori

Ah, you and Ebony have the same issues, then. SHE likes to write her endings first too... naughty girl... Roll

Actually, there is no set method. Just do what works for you. For me, I like to write beginning to end, but I need to have an outline and know where the fic is going before I start. Sometimes, as I am writing, I change my story based on inspiration, and then have to go back and change the beginning parts... but it's worth it. The only real problem is that somehow, my fics seem to get longer and longer and longer...

My story that I wrote down and eventually posted, the one I called Collision, was the result of dreaming the same fragment for three nights in a row. Once I wrote it down the fragment I was able to move to the next part of the story.

The fic I was referring to of mine was It's Not Easy Being Green, which was from the POV of a goon I named Kito. I took the MS Litmus test for him and he actually scored pretty close to being a MS (or Gary Stu, in his case). I was shocked, because I hadn't been intending that at all. So IMHO, that test isn't always accurate. If the character is integral to the story, then keep him/her in. If you're really worried about it, send it to a beta-reader for another opinion. But don't let any of that stop you from actually writing it! Someone on the BOTP list actually pointed out once that the biggest Mary Sue of all was Zark. Talk about someone with self-insertion and self-promotion! And he was ALWAYS better at everything than the team. Why, if he could have left Center Neptune, they wouldn't even have needed the team!

Tell me about it! You told me 'Jason and Mark make a Swan sandwich!' then left it up to me to figure out how they got there. The result was Snowbound. Then, for the Geisha fic, you told me 'Jun is a Geisha and other men are interested in her and Ken is jealous.' and somehow we worked out a plot there too. And I can't forget how we talked and talked about how to get Mark, Jason and Princess alone on the island in Tough to Swallow/Replacements II!!!!!! You're the Queen of middle-of-the-plot ideas!

Thanks for the suggestion but I doubt I will write any Gatch fic (at this point anyways). Not because I'm afraid of people reading my work (I lost that fear a long time ago) but mainly I just don't have the time (that and I'm not sure if I could do the characters justice). I'm still trying to find the time to do the promised updates for my own sites, plus I'm putting together a RPG Ezine (that I'm a few weeks behind schedule), and I have my own writing and work to do. But thanks for the offer. Wink

I should also mention that several of the writers that write for my sites have gone on to work professionally (novels and in comics). Some of them still thank me because I was the first person to take a chance on their writing. Everyone has to start somewhere but anything is possible if you work hard enough at it. Here is a review of one of my writer's books: Dillon and the Voice of Odin - Pulp adventure at its best.

Tim Resolution is 1024 X 768. Does that make a difference to the size? Umm, stupid question, of course it does. That is why I had to lower the resolution to view my report card file. It also made the image more blurry and gave me headaches, so I started 'writing' my reports at school, instead of at home.

Originally posted by clouddancer Tim Resolution is 1024 X 768. Does that make a difference to the size? Umm, stupid question, of course it does. That is why I had to lower the resolution to view my report card file. It also made the image more blurry and gave me headaches, so I started 'writing' my reports at school, instead of at home. (I can put the marks on the reports at home but I do not like to write or read the comments from home.)

You hit the nail on the head. The screen resolution = size issue. The larger Ryu pic will easily fit your screen resolution's width but not height. If you try to make a smaller file larger you will get that blurriness. It is easier to make a larger file smaller than the other way around. I'll see what I can do to make a wallpaper sized image.

Side Note... Recently I've been watching an 80s Japanese TV Ninja Historic Drama/Period Piece series called "Hattori Hanzo: Kage no Gundan" (called Shadow Warriors in English). It is about Clan Iga (who are ninjas) and the show stars Sonny Chiba as Hattori Hanzo (who is the head of the clan). During the Day, the various members of Clan Iga hide their true nature in various occupations and become ninjas as they are needed. The series is great. It has comedy, drama, Clan/Shogunate politics (of the time) and lots of cool action. One thing that is mentioned a few times is the ninjas have a rule - they cannot fall in love or else lose their ninja status. Every time a female ninja (called a 'Kunoichi') falls in love in this show it is almost a death sentence - she ends up dying by the end of that show. I got thinking... I wonder if the same rule applies to the Science Ninja Team? Maybe that is why Ken isn't open about his feelings (if he has them - I think a case can be made either way). He is afraid that allowing his feelings to be true - he might endanger Jun's life and/or the mission. Course that would be against his social obligation ('Giri') which is very important to the Japanese. Oh well... that is just me over thinking the whole situation. I'll go back to work now on my silly screen captures. *grin*

The obligation to duty has been bandied about many times as the reason for Ken's reluctance, along with emotional repression (RI being a fantastic father figure), fear of abandonment, fear that Jun would die/be targeted by Galactor if he showed interest, and general shyness/awkwardness around women. Of course, there is also the large contingent at BirdGo who have an ALTERNATE explanation, and there is also the more BOTP-esque explanation that he and Jun ARE involved, just in the background/on the side, so as not to flaunt it in front of anyone. But, to come back to your original point, I think that's a very good possible explanation for Ken's seeming non-interest in Jun.

One of my early Christmas presents (a gift mailed from Japan from a Japanese friend) is "A Bilingual Handbook on Japanese Culture" (in Japanese it is "Nihon Bunka o Eigo de Shoukai suru Jiten"). According to this book (page 25), the concept of Giri is described as... "... which was formed in feudal society, is the most valued standard in human relationships: Master-subordinate, parent-child, husband-wife, brothers and sisters, friends, and sometimes even enemies and business connections. If pressed to define it, one might say if that giri involves caring for others from whom one has received a debt of gratitude and a determination to realize their happiness, sometimes even by self-sacrificing." The book goes on to say, "in acting voluntarily, it means to support a person, to whom one feels giri, without paying attention to one's disadvantage when that person is in a difficult situation." This is a great book and very enlightening when it comes to the Japanese. It covers historic and modern customs.

I am glad someone else agrees with this. I have read many fics that put Ken and Joe on equal footing in size and weight. I did not remember this or believe it to be true. In my Universe it isn't, and for a while I was beginning to believe I had forgotten something.

In Gatch, Joe was DEFINITELY taller. But what's funny is that in BOTP, they tried to make Mark seem taller than Jason, and he is in all of the Ready Room scenes. But in the other scenes, Jason is taller... Grin

The caption on that pic came directly from my own childhood. I used to do the same thing as you TJ. I also remember watching the closing credits hoping that maybe... just maybe they would have another episode on afterwards even though I knew it wasn't going to happen. I just wished it would. Smile

When I watched BotP, it was on Global (TV station) during the weekdays at 3:30 IIRC (not sure about the time). I remember running home from school to watch it (I lived about 15 minutes (walking) from my school). We didn't have cable so sometimes I wasn't able to get the channel in to watch it. Sometimes I would just get the audio but not the picture... so I would be sitting there watching snow on the TV while listening to BotP (imagining what was happening on the show with my mind's eye). That was the worse... knowing the show was on but not being able to watch it. As for getting up at 6:30am to watch cartoons... I used to do that so I could watch Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends. I was a Marvel Comic fanatic back then so I wanted to see which guest stars would show up in the Spidey cartoon. Course I had the same problem as the BotP cartoon... sometimes I could not get the show to tune in and that was very depressing when your fav cartoon is on. Now I have digital cable and sometimes the shows can't be watched because the channel digitalizes and everything becomes unwatchable. Plus ça change, plus cest la même chose.

clouddancer Gatchamaniac posted 10 Dec 2007 12:43

I can not remember what station it was on when I watched I believe probably one of the american ones. Can not remember what their call names were, but probably 22 or 29. Which I think became WB29 for a while. Shrugs, I have had cable now for 5 years, don't ask me to recall the time of 10 channels and most of them with some amount of snow on the screen. The site line to the CN Tower was not great, even with an arial 2 stories above the house.

Transmute Jun Queen of the Bird Missiles posted 10 Dec 2007 12:56

Buffalo 29, get to know us!!!! That was my favourite station, as a kid. It had ALL of the shows I wanted to watch... except BOTP, which (as Tim recalls) was on Global. Since we were in Toronto we had no problem receiving the station, even before we had cable.

Thanks for sharing!! Also, you're latest screen caps are great!! I can't stop laughing everytime I see them! My BoTP memories are so sketchy. I know it was my sister's influence that got me into the series in the first place and I remember coming home from school to watch it too. I think it was on channel 11 by us (WPIX-New York at the time). Can't remember what was on after it though. And getting up early on a Saturday morning... That's one of my most vivid memories from growing up! My sister and I waking up oh-so-early on a Saturday and plunking ourselves down in front of the TV watching old Hanna-Barbera cartoons or Kroft Superstars shows until our parents woke up. Ahhh, those were the days! Now you can't find any Saturday morning cartoons on the broadcast channels until after 10am!!

Don't worry, the show has English subtitles. Otherwise I wouldn't be able to understand 90% of it myself. A Japanese friend (who originally told me about the show) also told me that they use archaic Japanese in the show (since it is a historic drama). Here is more info about the show: Drama Wiki Entry

Star Trek's on!" Early Saturday morning it was on Buffalo 7 (ABC) @ 7am after Commander Tom... When I lived in Montreal it was on Saturdays @noon channel 12 CFCF (I think it's owned by Global now)

Speaking of Sandy Frank... that reminds me of the Sandy Frank song from Mystery Science Theatre 3000. Here it is on youtube: Sandy Frank Song As it turns out, Sandy Frank was supposedly really pissed at the that they made fun of him so he won't release the rights to the various Japanese movies that were mocked on MST3K. So those episodes cannot be reshown because of that (they need the rights to both MST3K and the movie they are mocking before it can be rebroadcasted or release on dvd).

I'm the same way. My general rule is I won't target someone with a comment unless I know them - then watch out. (^_^) While I can be very sarcastic at times - sometimes I just like playing around. For example this just happened... while standing in front of me, my wife was checking her mobile phone messages and she cursed, "damn junk mail." So I looked at her very sternly and told her, "That's not fair. You don't hear me cursing 'damn junk female' at you!" The look on her face was priceless as she burst into laughter. Another time she asked me if I wanted some wine. So I stomped my feet and said (in a whiny voice), "Ahhh I don't want to...." Laughter is very important to me - it keeps me sane in this crazy world. Most of the time I don't even think about what comes out of my mouth (which has gotten me into trouble before). My brain comes up with these things before I even know it. Wink

To be fair - my success rate with my jokes is about 50%. Either people end up moaning at them or laughing. Sometimes I have to duck flying objects because my jokes can be pretty bad (or good depending on your p.o.v.).

Or I find myself using "old" ones on people who have not heard them before. As they are leaving work for the night, they say "I am off." Automaticall my brain says, "Like a stale piece of bread. Or, A mouldy piece of cheese." I so have to catch my tounge before it says anything.

Originally posted by Sosai X To be fair - my success rate with my jokes is about 50%. Either people end up moaning at them or laughing. Sometimes I have to duck flying objects because my jokes can be pretty bad (or good depending on your p.o.v.).

The family knows what to expect so I usually do not have flying objects. But outside of the family, I try so hard not to say anything. The number of dirty looks I have had from people who either catch the "end" of the joke, or do not understand it at all has caused me to really watch what I say. ANd this leads into what I said in another thread a while ago about "not being myself" when I first meet people and taking a while to get to let myself out.

More great funnies Tim.... I have been rather quietly enjoying these, or at least not verbal on the puter... cause my mind rolls in laughter. To get into yours and CD conversation I must say that I am the same way. My humor tends to either have someone like or hate me.... So far my world is rather small on the friend side, but at least the ones I have understand my warped personality. Like telling someone at work who isn't doing their job... "I'm sorry to hear about your accident".... then when they look at you and say HUH??? Come back with "Yeah, the one where your arms and legs were both broke.... now do your own damn job." Or If they see me singing or commenting to myself, look at them and say... "Yeah I'm talking to myself, most days it's the most intelligent conversation that I get." Or when you go to pay for fuel and they ask if you have gas.... "I told one clerk that he asked a very personal question... then just smiled wickedly till he caught on and laughed.... Love catching someone off guard... One of my goals for lifting weights and getting in shape...is to back up my quick mouth... haven't always learned to shut it up... Course my eyes tend to glare "if you ask some" so I'm doomed there too... Okay enough rambling.... Please Tim, continue on with these... they are all awesome in their own right.

LOL! I've used a variation of that one before. I usually say, "at least this way I'm guaranteed an intelligent conversation." After watching way too much Benny Hill, Are You Being Served, 'All 'Allo, and Carry On movies as a kid... I can turn any innocent comment into sexual innuendo. Smile

Ohhhh Tim, you might be a good one to answer this. We were discussing last night at our Christams party a British TV show. It takes place in a department store, we were actually comparing our sub-secretary to the old lady with the purple hair. Do you remember the name of the show? I can see it, must have caught a few eps at some stage, but the name still has slipped my mind.

CD, the Eagle would never drink alcohol from an alcohol bottle. But given Condor's brilliance, he would have hidden the liqour in a Cola bottle (because he couldn't go with a Jack Daniel's aboard the God Phoenix) and hid it under the console!

No, she was a civilian. Ryu and Jinpei had been attacked by Galactor goons in civilian gear and the woman shows up to clean Ryu/Jinpei's room and finds a dead body in it. She thinks Ryu and Jinpei are the killers and she freaks out. Course this picture didn't help Ryu/Jinpei's cause...

Basically Ryu is trying to get the woman to stop screaming by covering her mouth. Jinpei is waving the knife as he basically says 'we didn't do it'. Both Ryu and Jinpei end up running out of the hotel. The funny bit is they run past Ken and Jun and Ken says, "Pretend we don't know them." LOL!

This is the episode after the one where Red Impulse dies so Ken is seething with rage. He ends up chasing a Galactor agent from an ISO meeting. Ken steals some guy's car to go after the Galactor agent (hence this pic). I always found the Battle of the Planets episode funny because when Mark "steals" the guy's car, the guy is jumping up & down but he says, "Mark your car isn't ready yet." (or something to that effect) It was obvious to me as a kid that Mark stole this guy's car. Wink

With all your comments I have this image come into my mind... Joe sneaking Jim Beam from a hip flask into his glass of coke, he picked up the Burbon cheap through the internet and he's hiding it from Jun...the one time she would hit hard is if she caught him out... The Eagle and the Owl get in on the cheap Jim Beam as well...hahhaaa!!! Could you imagine how furious the Swan would be if she caught them in the act... Unfortunatley the Swallow is close to catching on so Joe spikes his drinks with Vodka...

Heeeeeelp! Every time I try to color my new sketch in Photoshop...the colors only come out in shades of gray!!! What can I do? Every other sketch works normally...I can get the regular colors. I even tried saving the sketch in a different file, under a different name...there is something about this sketch Photoshop doesn't like, I guess...any ideas? I want my color back!
