Quality!!

Love the overall effect - especially the 'commentary caption' being included in the 1st photo - nice touch!!

One reflection btw; I've found that strategically placing another player in the pic provides the opportunity to stick speech bubbles to them, which gives a bit more flexibility in arranging the key characters and their associated speeh bubbles.

For example, in the 'spud talking with Vikash about his sister' pic, I struggled with getting the speech bubbles to come from their mouths. It's as if spud talks out of his left ear!...(hmmm, having to suppress quite a few quips about where spud may actually talk from etc... jocolor

)

Then I tried the old 'strategically placed player/object' ploy to overcome this...

...never thought I'd ever be discussing the technical issues around Subby speech bubbles, but the world moves on at such pace... Laughing

Looking forward to the next episode!

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction an exceptionally good Finger tip. I will also check that the photo's are in focus before I post them next time. Laughing

Got a few ideas so will post one up each week.

It's always good to see what others' ideas are; and your handwritten bubbles are much more authentic than typed ones, and I'll certainly bear this in mind for the future. Cool

Also, some of my photos have been so out of focus - especially when taking them on a phone-cam

The second pic below I think is the worst one I ever took. Rolling Eyes

I thought I might get away with it if people thought it was deliberate, to show Liono's speed! Smile

It wasn't deliberate though...just crap photography!
...also, having met Liono on the green cloth a few times, I'm fairly sure he hasn't moved that fast anyway - he appreciates the more deliberate, studious pace! Wink

Poll:

Does subbuteoman:

a) Take a break from posting until fully recovered after convalescence...

b) Jump off the stretcher and stagger to the nearest pc to post "aaarrgh me noonads!"

c) Claim that Roy Race should get done for Grievous Bollocky Harm

d) Keep posting as much as before from his hospital bed, but in a slightly higher font...

Posts: 622 Join date: 2011-06-03

I like (d) but knowing subbuteoman you missed the most probable option (e) Get pished !

Brilliant Steve , best thread/ laugh I've had in ages mate Cool

Posts: 829 Join date: 2010-05-28

Mate...that's absolutely Brilliant... Really great work, with all the bits of paper, blu tac etc...the angles are perfect, the player even looks like he's diving:shock: How did you achieve that, when all the rest of the picture is perfectly in focus? scratch

Great Story line too... Well worth the effort:bounce: afro

Subject: Re: ROY OF THE ROVERS - COMIC STRIP Sun Aug 14, 2011 9:52 am

I enjoyed that too. Really funny and with a subtle message. Wink

Many thanks for making the effort, Steve. Brilliant. cheers

I have to admit that the moving player was a bit of serendipity. The blu tak was not fixed firmly enough under the base and when I took the shot it started falling. Took another one and then when I loaded them up and saw the effect on the original couldn't believe my luck. So I have stumbled across another little trick to use in the future. They say all the best discoveries are made by mistake. Laughing

Always a bit of controversy in your instalments Gullseye!

...Surely Langton Green will claim special dispensation, quoting rule 3a (ii) subsection 2c, which states as long it is a genuine part of old subbuteo it is allowable And an army blanket would qualify under the clause as long as they had made the chalk markings!

...But it appears George isn't aware of this clause!

Just 7 days to the next installment!!

Hi everyone, this is my first post on this forum.

As a new Roy of The Rovers devotee, I love your comic strips Gully Smile

Excellent stuff.

Even the missus liked it & she gave up paying any interest in Subbuteo years ago.

Hi Newgold

Glad to hear I am keeping the missus entertained. Wink

Good to see another 'Green' on here, hope you enjoy
