Thank you all very much!
It’s me….the Ghost of Christmas Yet To Come!
That’s…definitely not Azure.
It’s the elusive shiny Azure! Quick, catch it!
Definitely more of a yellow color.
2450 × 3979 px? Damn, not many artists publish printable resolution.
I was considering on downscaling the actual image size, but I am still unsure… I want to be able to print out the comic eventually.
We’ll see.
Dude, omfg, PLEASE, for the sake of people who’re using mobile data or have shitty internet, shrink them down. Photoshop has a “Save for Web” option somewhere; use it.
Save your SAI/PSD/whatever files for print.
As I said earlier, I’m still considering on what I’ll do for this.
I’m running a few tests on mobile already.
I can give you several reasons why there’s nothing to consider here.
1. Your website doesn’t even display the image at the full size. You have to right click and open it in another tab. You’re better off just uploading an image at the size your website is going to display.
2. Once it’s opened at full size, any mistake you might’ve made on the page is immediately visible. And also there’s just not enough intricate, intentional detail to justify a closer look. Like I’d get it if your work was anything like Marco Mazzoni’s or N.C. Winters’ or Loish’s or Sam Spratt’s, but it’s not. It’s very simple, and cartoony, and any “detail” is the result of some brushes with a texture applied. There’s nothing there to really look at up close that you can’t already see at a lower resolution.
3. You are wasting server space. I don’t know how much you’re paying for that, but I’d imagine you’d want to conserve it.
4. As already stated, this does absolutely nothing for people with bad internet; it just slows down your website. I tell you what, my internet is pretty good and your comic still loads like garbage when I visit your site. Hell, your website barely loads on my Wii U (I had my husband read it on the TV once back before we did the crossover) and a friend of mine I linked this to tells me that your comic outright just break sometimes and doesn’t load on his internet because the pages are so large.
5. It’s not mobile friendly. People only have so much data per month. Pages at this size waste it.
6. Barring speed and data issues, it’s just the professional thing to do to optimize your imagery for the web. Print resolution doesn’t belong online; that’s why there’s a difference between the two.
7. It’s probably not super likely, but if you upload the print resolution, anybody can just download that and print the thing out. A dedicated enough person could print and sell high quality Starwarriors books; web quality at least makes the bootlegs look like shit.
Not sure why you think having massive pages like this is a benefit to anybody, but I can assure you, it’s not. My husband is professionally a tech/web guy and I got his input before writing this up. You really should be optimizing.
So have you come to make another deal or did you just want to see her.
itsya me, mario (lol)
itsa me mario* (lol)
It’s the Mysterious Hooded Woman!
Oh and she can teleport. Just noticed the flash of yellow in two different spots simultaneously.
