Not just tigers. You'll find this in ANY mammal with colour or shade patterns in their fur. It's the skin pigment that defines the fur colour. It also doesn't stop at the fur. I once noticed a dog (no idea what breed) whose fur colours were different across the eyes. One eye was brown, the other one pink. I looked it up in the library and sure enough, the eye pigment is also affected in the same way, depending on how the animal is formed before birth.

So Millie's skin coloration is unrealistic?

No. She's a character in a comic strip. Her being able to talk alone is "unrealistic" so...

Also, David didn't fill in the black areas where the fur is black, so...

Nobody discourage Sage, please! I want to see the rest of the sequence in colour! :o

In a comic you only draw what is necessary, or funny. The coloured fur landing beneath Millie was hilarious, but she doesn't need a black tail tip or white patches in her ears for every strip in the sequence. ;)

Wow... guys... I'm like... dedicated to this game... it's sad!

You guys can expect more pink millie when one of 2 things happens

1: I decide to do them (which might not happen)
2: When I get back into school and I find myself not being able to play games all day long.

3) When you get bored with the game and have a greater appreciation for the applause your fine artwork deserves.

(My own attention has been elsewhere recently, but that's because I've been engrossed in the artwork of my own comic, albeit computer generated AND black & white).

Though, I should be the one confused here... exactly how is my "artwork" fine? You want to see what it really is?

Odd, I usually leave a lot more gaps and spots under the black:

We have different methods. I could make a little tutorial to show how I do it sometime...

Also, to make that red glow around Llewellyn's text, do I just select it, expand selection, and fill? or do I use feather? or... what?

I usually use the magic wand, expand by 1 pixel, and then flood fill. That way I catch most of the edges, and I hand-colour what I missed.

So basically select the text and expand. Gotcha.

Nono that's for the normal colouring. For the text I use some trick Caigan explained to me a while ago.

I wasn't referring to that one...

I was referring to a game actually named 'The Game'...

Curse you for making me lose again...
