And the 1st entry for that month, with a smacking of image manipulation
I've been waiting for quite some time to do a "War of the Worlds" cap series and finally the opportunity has presented itself.
The 1st panel serves as an introduction and consists entirely of text taken from "The Eve of the War" from
Jeff Wayne's 1978 musical adaptation, which I highly recommend! (I find the original novel to be a bit dry). The next three panels are the actual story.
If you are interested in the technical details: the model is Kathy Lee from the Actiongirls set "Army Babe"; the tripods are pictures of a modified Pegasus Hobbies 1:144 kit; the soldier is some Australian guy with an M203 grenade launcher attached to his assault rifle; the beams, glow, composition, etc. were done in Paint.net; and the deranged babbling in panels 2-4 are by yours truly.
Peace,
Lurker.
