The Greys

Post by xav »

This is a comic strip that a friend and I started over 14 years ago using CorelDraw 4. We've decided to resurrect it as a webcomic using Inkscape to draw the strips, and the site went live with the first strip last week:

Based on the rate at which we've been converting and tidying up old CorelDraw files, we're currently only committing to "once a fortnight", though I do hope to increase it to weekly at some point, if we can.

We're also making our Inkscape source files available for download under a Creative Commons licence. As an added extra for those that do grab the source, the SVG files usually include some kind of Easter Egg.

That's a rather familiar-looking background. :)

I could have guessed that at least one or two people here would recognise the background. I actually drew a more complete layered version with flight consoles and the lounge area, so expect to see variations of it getting re-used in future.

Time for another:
