Victory Fire Process 1: Drawing with MS Paint

Description

Some people have asked how Victory Fire is made, so Maggs has put together some progress shots. Color with MS Paint is a bit more complicated than lineart but we will try to get a decent coloring walkthrough up at some point.

VF is not always 100% MSPaint, often there are glow effects or transparency which require Photoshop, and unfortunately the lettering has to be done in Photoshop these days as the Windows7 version of Paint absolutely wrecked the text tool. Maggs does not use any of the new "brushes" in MSPaint as they are all horrible, tools are the Pencil at 1 or 2 size, Eraser/Color Eraser and rarely the Airbrush (seen in the snow pages in book 1). For the most part there is not much cheating or fancy effects in VF, everything is done by hand.

If there is anything specific you would like to know about, ask :)

I know you're still on hiatus, but when you get back, a neat thing I've seen floating around if you'd like to try is a ported XP version of MS Paint called "MSPaintXP". That way you could get all of your old functionality back. It "used" to have it's own dedicated website, but that site seems to have disappeared. I'm leery about linking to mirrors because of the risk of viruses of course. But you're free to look around for it. Well, assuming it still works because I assume development stopped and thus may be incompatible nowadays.


There's also JS Paint which is a browser-based classic paint: https://jspaint.app . Which is a more modern version with more features, but same original functionality and interface. Of course being browser-based isn't ideal in case of net outages though. They also apparently made a desktop version, but it requires you to have a net connection which renders a desktop version moot anyway.
