Here in the West

I finally got around to converting the episode of Here in the West I did years ago. Here in the West was originally drawn by Carol Wood, and I swapped her the rights to The Spanish Maid for it. The artwork on this was drawn back about 1991, so it's all 16 year old stuff. The script (like all HITW scripts) was written by Ian Scudamore. Haven't spoken to Ian in years, though there's exactly one I. Scudamore in the Perth White Pages.

I took the opportunity to use Photoshop. For years I've used Paint Shop Pro as my main graphics editor. Partly this was because my hardware  just didn't seem to support the latest versions, but it does now. That's one reason every thing's a little rough. I was trying to get a particular mood and I think the colouring achieves that, even if it does look a bit garish sometimes.

Was almost tempted to use the GIMP as there's a new version (GIMP 2.4) out that has resizable brushes in it, but I found the interface as alien as it ever was.
