Description Background - Apophysis 7X - used this tutorial [link] by the incredible , as well as added hexes
Manipped in GIMP (used a GIMP-generated clouds background)
Foreground - Mandelbulb 3D. Used reflections and transparency.

As for the neon effect, when you have an object you have to do a few things:
Make sure stepcount for binary search = 5 and smooth normals = 3. Raystep multiplier can be 0.25 or lower. Crank specular to maximum, and for any light, Diff= Cos^2, Spec=8. Intensity in the magnitude of 1e2 or 1e3. Use positional lighting, make sure the center of the positional lighting is INSIDE the object at hand. Like, if you have a thing that takes up the bottom half of your screen, move y-coordinate down, and move around the coordinates until you get neon.
Feel free to ask any questions.

I guess if there's a time to do it, now's the time when I basically have the week off.

Alright it's time to make the sequel to that halloween comic. Because the first one was at a cliffhanger.

Yeah I'm working on how to finish it. Sorry if it's taking so long; graduate school can really wear you out, and a lot of time gets taken up. I'm not trying to make excuses, I'm just saying that in order to do something right like a comic, you need time to think about it. I really do wish I had more time to do it. Although I am working on it.

Finished it up. Took a while to think of what to do. Actual drawing of both pages took about 2 hours.

Here you go. Page 2: [link] Page 3: [link] Enjoy!
