Action lines coloured background thinga-ma-jig tutorial!

Ever imagined how I make those background action sequences with some lines and stuff? Well, here's how you do it in Photoshop:

1- Acquire Photoshop (use magnet to acquire Photoshop faster) (lol, enough with references)

On to the tutorial:
1- Create a new document, any square size (for example, 500x500);
2- Make sure your fore/background are default (press D to make sure they are);
3- Filter -> Render -> Fibers... and in the window play around with the values a bit. I'll use 16 for variance and 4 for strength. You can press "Randomize" in order to get a more even background (not too contrasted by a white and a black part);
4- Filter -> Blur -> Motion Blur... and in the window have a 90ยบ angle. In distance, insert a very high number, like 200 or 300;

You have now the basic lines. You can transform them to your liking to fit the action/fighting scene they're supposed to go. To add colour, press CTRL+U, and then, with "Colorize" checked, and by tampering with the three values, you can create a brand new colour for the background. You can even tweak the lightness for a more darker or lighter scene. Have fun =P

100th comic celebration

To celebrate the 100th issue of this comic, I am asking you, dear fans of Kirby Battle, to be a part of this wonderful comic. How, you might ask? Why, through the simple action of forking over your custom Kirby sprites that you spent your precious time to perfect- er, I mean, cameoing.

Yes, I am officially accepting cameos in my comic! Yay! So, you might be wondering how to fork over your- er, how to cameo in Kirby Battle.

Just PM me your sprites and I will decide whether or not your character will cameo. What will help me decide? Well, a number of things will help or hinder your sprite's possibilities of cameoing. Just to name a few:
1- Your character must be Kirby related. No cheap Sonic knock-offs or the like;
2- Your character must be KSSU style, unless you don't mind it being advanced style and, consequently, shorter than the other characters;
3- You character must not be just a cheap recolor of a Kirby character nor just an unoriginal body part addition to Kirby's sprite kind of thing;
4- Most important of all, you sprite MUST BE ORIGINAL AND CREATIVE. This is a no-brainer.

Also, I will only select the top 5 characters for the cameo spot. And do note I am not planning a permanent spot on my comic.

In addition to the sprite sheet, you should PM me the bio of your character. Talk a little about his back-story and about his personality, his abilities and skills, stuff like that.

And please do not post your sprites and bio in the comment section of the comic, this applies to the comments of this news post as well, these comments will be meant for you to post your questions.

So, like I said, if you have a question, post a comment in this news post. See ya all!
