After looking at Mel's sprites....and getting into a slight artistic mood...I figured I'd start to work on the comic from time to time... Anyone interested?

Umm...does anybody know how to install a scanner when you don't have the disk, box, or model for the computer?

Yeah....I thought I should be the one to put something like this here...
Anyway. Here's some info....
Before Crises
Story: Randall’s life couldn’t be better. At six years old, he lives with his loving family in a house on Cliffside. A father with a job as a Scarer, his mother a nurse, his protective older brother, and encouraging little sister. All seems well till Randall’s seventh birthday, when his life is smashed to pieces. Will he be able to repair his life? Or….will he die in the process…..
Characters (some)
The Boggs Siblings
Name: Randall Boggs Age: 6, turning 7 Bio: Randall was born into a loving and special family. They were the first reptiles to actually settle near the city, away from the island. Growing up around his parents and siblings mostly, Randall became interested in becoming a Scarer like his father. His mother kept him healthy, doing everything she could for him till Eleanor was born. His big brother had taught him how to fight, though Randall’s not that good at it yet. However, he does get encouragement from his little sister Eleanor. Sometimes shy and timid, Randall tends to stay near his siblings and away from the crowds. He’s very closed to himself, but opens up to the right people. He likes working alone, unless it involves helping Eleanor or Randolph. His family, especially his mom and dad, tell him that he is destined for great things. Little did Randall know…..they were right….
Specials: Randall carries a necklace Eleanor made for him as a present for his birthday. The chain was made out of smooth weaved yarn. She had made it tight so it wouldn’t hurt Randall’s neck scales. The necklace’s end goes through a delicately cut crystal. It shines a deep sky blue in sunlight, and dark blue at night. Randall was curious to know where she got it, though Eleanor always liked teasing him with secrets. Nonetheless….Randall treasures it.
Name: Randolph Boggs Age: 9, two years older than Randall Bio: Randolph is the oldest of the Boggs siblings. At early age, Randolph pretty much kept to himself. He dearly respects his parents and protects his younger brother and sister. In school, Randolph had gained a reputation as a tough guys and literally takes care of anyone who harms Randall or Eleanor. Randolph took Randall under his wing and taught him all he knew, specifically how to Blend. Eleanor likes teasing him more than she does Randall, but he doesn’t mind…..much anyway. Protective and knowledgeable, Randolph is who his siblings come to for answers, his little brother mostly. Randolph acts joke-able around both of them, but is stern in teaching Randall how to Blend. The ability isn’t new to, but isn’t yet mastered by, Randolph himself, but he is always willing to give Randall lessons, that is….if Randall is willing to do something for him, though Randolph just jokes about that. Having gotten into fights by carrying Randall through school, and gaining a bad reputation, Randolph picks his battles more carefully now, especially since he knows he would head to the next grade set, leaving Randall with Eleanor in school for at least two years….
Specials: Randolph doesn’t carry anything of meaning with him, though he does have Randall on his tail most of the time. He does have the ability to Blend better than Randall does, and he’s use this ability as many times as possible….sometimes as an excuse to take something from the kitchen before dinner….
Name: Eleanor Gildea Boggs Age: 5, 2 years younger than Randall Bio: The youngest of the Boggs siblings, Eleanor is perhaps more vulnerable than Randall. In such, Randall makes it his duty to take care of her. Of course, this provides a little competition between her older brothers. Eleanor enjoys nature than the industrial city, and gets alone with allot of native animals as well. Frequent visits zoos perhaps informed them all of this. She’s really good natured, but likes teasing her brothers, though they don’t mind. She gets picked on allot at school because of what she looks like. However, Randall defends her, as well as Randolph. She’s kind most of the time, calm and passionate, she speaks her mind when she wants to. She hides many things, including secrets better than her brothers can. Eleanor is really hoping Randall would like the present she made for him….
Special: Because they all look alike, except her colors, Eleanor wears a hairpin on her front frond. This is curiously a defining characteristic. She gave a crystal necklace to Randall for his birthday, where she found it and how, Eleanor keeps it a secret….
Many already know of Randolph, but Eleanor's new. OH! And....this doesn't co-exist with any of my or Ran's stories....

Can you guy's see the images, but not the words? I can see the pictures all right, but like you said, I'm afraid I can't read the words. ...Is there any way that you could crop the longer pictures, but before that make 2 or more copies of that same picture file so that you can crop them different ways each time? If your computer will let you do that, that might do the trick. *crosses fingers* ~Light Rises
