EidolonI once saw an eidolon,
wistfully idle under an
ivory moon. And it whispered
to me in uncertain terms,
of spirits nigh and old,
who feasted on life's well-being.
Who drank scarlet drops
from maiden lips,
whose eyes were glazed
and cold.

I scoffed at he,
and replied
with candour and spent certainty,
that a wraith's whispered words
held no truth.
For such lies were they known
to impart,
to a wary traveller as I.

How to make a lightboxby ~kimiko

Scraps

In my first ever tutorial, I show you how to make a lightbox by stealing doors off Ikea furniture.

The end.

But for serious. I decided the quickest way to ink my Generation comic was traditionally, but I figured we would have some perspex laying around to use (actually, my first idea was to use my scanner bed. THAT WAS A GREAT IDEA. RIGHT? BECAUSE THE LIGHT IS TOTALLY ALWAYS ON)

But we didn't have any, so I was like... "Fuck, man. What's some hard transparent thing I can use?"

And there it was, like a beacon. Motherfucking Ikea furniture to the rescue. So I popped the door off one of our cabinets (Very easy, being Ikea furniture and all; you just have to lift it). Get a lamp, and presto. Instant lightbox with a lipped edge to keep your pages in place.

Inking done with a sepia Copic nib pen, Copic E71 'Champagne', and I-C comic paper

Does anyone know a good price for actual, non-IKEA furniture lightboxes?
My art teacher got a good one for about $60 and I want to know if that's a good price.
