The finished version of "35-Minute Sketch", a pic posted in my scraps gallery as a test of my ability to do con sketches in a reasonable timeframe.

Depicted here is one of my characters, Cynthia, taking a little swing around a stanchion inside a NYC subway car (an R142 for you subway buffs), propelled by her momentum as the train slows for a station stop. The jeans are of a design I spotted on the subway years ago, made a quick sketch, and years later finally incorporated into a pic.

Another image making use of my application's equivalent of layers*, this one came out even larger than "The Race at C-ACE", maxing out at about 195 megabytes in Picture Publisher's native .PP5 format.

Technical challenges included making Cynthia distinct from the backdrop, since she is a grey-furred cat, and the walls behind her are various shades of grey (mostly stainless steel and shadowed white walls lit by fluorescent light), and the reflections off her patent-leather ballerina flats, which probably should've been a color other than black, owing to the floor color. For once, the hair highlights didn't become a huge headache, although they did take a long time to do, what with all those 3-pixel airbrush strokes. The original image was inked with a Copic brush pen.

(* I say "equivalent", since for you Photoshop users out there, Picture Publisher doesn't use layers in the traditional sense, but it uses objects, which are essentially sprites created from masked-off sections of the image. The can be manipulated much the same way as layers (from what I can tell), but do not comprise the entire screen resolution, just the size/shape of the mask that they were generated from.)
