Does anyone know what Xion used to create his fantastic, yet short-lived TRF webcomic episodes?


His host for the comics themselves seems to have disappeared and I certainly hope they are not lost. I would like to host them again.

I am nowhere near as talented as he was with this but I would like to start up something similar.. got some ideas rolling around... some funny, some probably not but still..

I don't have any fancy art programs or anything like that... just windows paint..so I was curious what Xion used.

I vaguely remember stumbling across them too some time ago.

But if you're looking for a step above Microsoft Paint, there's Pixlr, which is almost like Photoshop online.

You can use any drawing program. It looked like he used paint, however photoshop, illustrator, adobe flash or any of those is quite useful for web based comics.

Obviously the sophistication of the software will determine the quality of the art, but there have been instances where Paint has out trumped photoshop in the hands of a skilled user.

GIMP. It's free, and like photoshop, but it's free.

Thanks. I am toying with Pixlr while I mess around with paint...

They were all hand/mouse-drawn in photoshop/fireworks back in the day, nothing you can't do in paint or gimp.

Its a shame my hosting went kaput or I'd still have them online somewhere. I'll need to have a thorough search on the old comps in the house to see if any of them still exist.

Am diggin' the stuff on the front page Omnae, its really quite amusing. :D Keep it up dude.

If you find them, we can upload them here. Those were classics. I am but a pale imitation of your humorous skilz.
