Elegant in its simplicity.

Thanks, guys.

I've been away for a while but have recently renewed my love of CoH. There's been so much stuff added, though, that I wanted to take my old character through the Pillar of Ice and Flame to do flashback missions of the new stuff.

However, I'm finding a few of the missions don't activate when I click on the accept mission dialog. Fer instance, trying to run the first new quest chain, Reason to Fight, won't do anything if I click the "what do you know?" cue. The next one, What Was Lost, however, takes me right to the task force settings screen like it should.

Is there something keeping my character from accessing some of these missions?

I've had 'Fletcher' on my friends list since I registered and haven never seen him in-game. Seeings as to how I really like the TA powerset AND my real-life name is Fletcher, I'm very interested in acquiring that one for myself.

Sonofa-! This group sounds awesome!

Man I wish I could've worked this out.

As it turns out, I do have Illustrator, but it's an older version. Lay your tutorial on me, brother, and I'll try my best.

Do that for me and I will find someone to have your babies.

So far, my digital inking has been pretty abortive. I figured out the techincal stuff, I just can't seem to wrap my brain around the pen function. The twisty handle business is just loopy.

The best I can do is to make an arc that comes close to my line, but matching the linework exactly (as I assume most pencillers would want the inks to do) is beyond me.

Can anyone offer some really basic level advice on how to control the pen function?

One question, is that The Ring from champion server?

It sure is. I didn't think it'd be that recognizable since this scan doesn't include his cape.

By the way, if anyone has any tips about controlling the pen function in PS, I'm all ears. All the handles and points make no sense to me and experimentation hasn't revealed the secrets yet.

This live trace y'all were talking about in Illustrator, what version did that show up in? I'm using Illustrator v8.0 and not finding the option.

Those are all great ideas. I can't wait to give them a whirl.

Hopefully the ancient versions of Photoshop and Illustrator I have support these new fangled concepts.

Any advice for a guy trying to make the move to inking his pencil work with Photoshop?

This is an example of a pencil sketch I've been working on for a chum of mine, but the best inking I can come up with is tracing it with a ballpoint.

I hear Photoshop is a good tool for inking comics these days, but I'm not so savvy on that program as an art tool.

To make your task even tougher, I don't have a tablet.

Any advice?

Hey, I just caught a reference with a Detective Wright sitting in the spot where Coyote is now in Outbreak. It's possible I missed the page of this thread where that was mentioned, but if not, I wanted to add it to the pool.
