After introducing the new Photoshop fire rendering tool for the campfire in strips #4383 and #4396, I've been experimenting with making the campfire look a bit more realistic. I turned down the number of flames and scaled each one larger, which also shifted the colour to a more cosy orange glow than the roaring bright yellow in those previous strips. I think the result looks a lot better now.
With many of these Photoshop techniques, I learn as I go, and later efforts are usually better than earlier ones.
I used the term ogee in this comic mainly because it had randomly come up in conversation with a friend a day or two earlier (a friend who does woodworking). I originally wrote the script with just "curves", but when assembling the comic I realised it was a perfect opportunity to use the newly learnt word "ogee". I figured this may well be the only time I ever get to use that word in an appropriate context, so I'd better take it!
