11_11... I CANNOT work out why the fonts are turning out randomly small at the mo, they are the right size before I scale down to web resolution...

Did a new patch go into the photo-editing software you use? Or did you alter the method you worked on it?
You could always add the text in after scaling down the web resolution.

hmm, I think I'm setting the images as too large to start with...

That could be. If the image is large when you start putting the text in, then when you reduce the image size the text that initially seemed sufficiently large will shrink further. Probably the easiest way to deal with that would be to add the text after scaling down the image, though how that would affect the word bubble size I'm not sure.

I'll make sure the size setting s are right without reducing resolution, if I do the text at 72dpi, it looks revolting.

time for werewolves to get their tech skills on! (Jimmy is out in the corridor crying because they wouldn't let him break into the bank)

Now I'm envisioning Jimmy as an Emo Mecha Boy. =^-^=

That's pretty much the basis of his character. When we were making up students for the various schools, our premise for Jimmy was "like Shinji! But even more pathetic!"

As someone less versed in manga I'm unfamiliar with a Shinji. However it's not a meaningful name to search either. There is clearly more than one Shinji.

Neon Genesis Evangalion. The original series had him as... well, let's just say there were times I was rooting for the Angels, even if their victory would mean the annihilation of mankind. =^-^=

Albeit, he is a truthful characterisation of what would happen if you really did force psychologically damaged fourteen year olds to pilot giant biomechanic suits to "save humanity"... but still. It got to the point where we renamed Eva "Evangelion. or "Man Up, Shinji Ikari!"
A lot of students at the school parody a certain character archetype. The Mecha class consists of "The whiny mecha pilot", "the ridiculously overconfident mecha pilot", "the fangirl", "The Machiavellian student" and "The glasses wearing tech girl"

It's what happens when the princess who runs the dojo is too genre-savvy. ;D

Yeah, pretty much everyone who is at that dojo has been handpicked by Flib for some scheme or other, after all she is an expert tactician, faerie godmother and a hugely powerful princess. She doesn't always know how things are gonna happen, but she knows generics inside out.
I was thinking about her the other day, actually. she's the only main character to make it through IBYKS with no romance sub-plot at all, that would take some supreme force of will against generics to acheive.

Actually, I've seen one rather involved and fascinating fanfic that takes an interesting look of "What if Shinji had a happy childhood?" (And got into Warhammer 40K.) www.fanfiction.net/s/3886999/1/Shinji_and_Warhammer40kIt's actually quite good. He's fairly genre-savvy as well and is trying to avoid his potential fates. ^^

What NO?! I don't want to read about a happy and well-adjusted shinji, his pain is my joy!

I enjoy FEY ^_^ she shoots down the non-sense in the comic and kills it into sense! You and Alice REALLY out did yourself with this page! I enjoy all the words you'd see on a computer when its starting up and the green is quite nice... Oh and would we be seeing inside your heads anytime soon if FEY is back?
