   That was very interesting to see how strips on this quality level are made- and the backgroundmusic was well chosen too! ;D
   I hope to see something like this from the other artists of dumm comics, I wonder how Skadi’s made!

   There’s something about watching people create things that I really like. I don’t know if most artists think people will think it’s boring or are uncomfortable with people seeing their process, but I could watch a really good artist draw for hours! I guess I just like seeing the gears and pulleys that run the amusement park rides.

   I thoroughly enjoyed watching these!! Cool process. And who is the background music?? I want it. It was like Main Street Electrical Parade.

   This is a sweet process, Gabe!

   I wanna know: does it take a while to get used to Flash, or is it relatively easy to get into?

   People have so many different ways of creating their webcomics, it’s quite fascinating. Those videos make you look so efficient! If only 14 minutes was all it really took…

   I’m glad you all liked the videos! It was fun putting them together!

   The music is Delta Two and Delta One both by Synergy. The third one is a Gorgio Moroder song from the Metropolis soundtrack.

   Agh! Super cool, Gabe! I really enjoyed watching these. I had no idea you had a library of already drawn bodies and limbs. Really organized process here :O
   Man, I really need to use flash more. I think I’m too scared to get into it but it seems to really speed up the process for a lot of different things. PS is my program and I’d kill for some of your PS brushes.

   Thanks for sharing!

    Uh, what he said?
    This was very interesting! I’d love to see videos from the other artists too, since each dumm has their own system.

    Great video Gabe, and equally funny comic. Question: How do you get such a great line quality in Flash? Even on my Tablet, it just turns out crap…

    What brilliant stuff! So, so much bloody work — and talent — becomes evident watching this. I learned to draw “old school” — airbrush, screentone-film, fountain pens, sable brushes — but I wonder if you kids actually have it any easier.

    Inking quickly and precisely in flash is the key. I just use the brush tool on the default smoothing which I think is 50. I also pull all the vectors of intersecting lines for sharp corners. That’s what I love about Flash! I never actually smooth anything after it’s inked, it seems to take a lot longer than just getting it down fast first.

    Thanks for the tips Gabe
